Outages are affecting approximately 3,000 meters as of 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 21.

Members that are currently out, should expect to be without electricity most of the day.

The outages began at approximately 2:00 a.m. as snow moved into the area. We expect the number of damage reports and outages to continue to increase until weather conditions improve. We will not be able to provide an estimated time of restoration until conditions improve and Lineworkers have inspected all areas to ensure all damage has been identified. Once all damage has been identified, we will be able to determine the work involved to make repairs and have a better idea of when power may be safely restored.

Local emergency response organizations have been notified.
