Why do your trucks and people keep going by but nothing is happening?

Crews may come and then leave your area before power is restored for several reasons:

  • Crews may be repairing several locations, on other roads, before power can be restored on the full section serving you.
  • Crews may begin work along your road but need to complete the work on other roads before lines can be energized.
  • In some cases, you may see our crews in uniform driving other vehicles. They are out in the field to assess the damage so we can assign an appropriately skilled repair crew.
