***URECC MEMBERS-POWER OUTAGE UPDATE***
Crews have made steady progress this afternoon in restoring power to affected Members. We started at around 11,000 Members without power around 1 this morning, and we are now down to 645. We would like to thank our hardworking crews, along with our contractors from North East Texas Power and Bowie Cass Electric Co-Op, for their dedication and quick response during this restoration effort.
This area is being worked on by a contracted crew. They have replaced several poles in this area, including two service poles. The three-phase repair has also been complex. They are nearing completion of this repair, and we hope to have all work completed before dark. They are working as quickly and safely as possible to restore power to this area.
There is a crew in this area working to locate a fault and restore service. Additional crews will be headed that way as soon as they are freed up to assist in the restoration effort.
A crew is in this area working to pick up lines from the ground and make repairs.
A contracted crew is headed to this area to replace a broken switch pole and restore service.
***OTHER AREAS ACROSS THE SYSTEM***
Crews are also responding to scattered outages and individual issues throughout the service territory.
With more severe weather expected across our service territory over the next several days, we encourage Members to be prepared and stay weather aware. Spring in East Texas often brings severe weather, but our crews are always ready to respond as needed. Stay safe and alert.
Please remember: if you come across a downed power line, always assume it is energized and extremely dangerous. Stay at least 35 feet away at all times.
***As a reminder, when you have an outage or any type of service issue, please report it through the SmartHub app or by calling 903-680-2100.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as crews continue working to safely restore service.
