Power Outages

Lightning striking power lines can cause fuses to blow or breakers to trip. Before calling to report a power outage, please do the following:

• Make sure you haven't blown a fuse or tripped a circuit breaker.
• Call a neighbor to see if the power is out there also.
• Wait 5 minutes to see if our equipment will automatically restore the service.

If an outage blackout occurs, please follow these steps:

• Turn off or disconnect all motor-driven appliances and fixtures to avoid damage from electrical overload when the power is restored.
• Try to leave an outside light switched "on" as a visual sign to repair crews that power has been restored to your block.

To report a power outage, call 355-1500. However, please don't call to report the same trouble more than once. Be assured we will respond as soon as possible.
