Hundreds To Lose Power In Planned Outage This Afternoon
February 5, 2009
A few hundred Escambia River Electric Cooperative customers will loose power this afternoon for up to two hours.
Power to about 200 customers will be cut from 2:00 until 4:00, according to Sabrina Owens, EREC spokesperson. Customers from the Oak Grove Substation on North Highway to Highway 97 to Arthur Brown Road to the Enon community will be without power. EREC on neighboring highways may be impacted by the outage depending on the direction from which their electric service originates.
The customers that are expected to have their power cut should have received an automated phone call from EREC Wednesday afternoon.
Owens said EREC crews will be working to replace an aging piece of equipment in the Oak Grove Substation. She said the piece of equipment is being replaced now to prevent an eventual outage that might be lengthier and impact a much larger number of customers.
The outage will not likely last the full two hours, Owens added.
