Service Reliability

We are undertaking Service Reliability Conversion Projects to convert our existing overhead electric lines to underground lines for improved electric service reliability. We are undertaking these projects because underground electric lines are generally less susceptible than overhead lines to damage and/or service interruptions due to storms, vehicles, trees, and animals.

These enhancements to our infrastructure are meant to significantly improve the electric service we provide in neighborhoods throughout our service area. Find project-specific information here.  

Planned Outages

Our community continues to grow. As it does, we're enhancing and adding new infrastructure as well as updating and improving current infrastructures. This helps ensure safe, reliable gas and electric service for existing and future customers.  

During infrastructure projects, you may experience temporary power outages that are necessary for our field crews to perform their work safely. We will notify you by phone at least one to two business days before any planned outage to inform you of the outage start time and approximate duration. To help us, contact you promptly, please take a moment to confirm or update your contact information in Manage My Account.
