We are already experiencing heavy rains over portions of our service area. As the weather continues to decline, please make sure you’ve made adequate preparations in case you experience a power outage. Currently, we have 678 members without power. 409 of those members are out of the Cane Creek substation in Lumpkin County in the Edwards Parkway/Chestatee Estates/Hester Gap/Dicks Creek Road/Corinth Church Road etc. areas, due to a broken 3 phase pole.
As we continue through this weather event, high winds are expected, and will likely bring trees down on power lines. Please remember to never go near a downed power line; always assume they are still energized and stay clear.
We recommend you stay in contact with your local county emergency management agency for specific details on the condition of roads, etc. in your area. You may report any power outages to one of the following numbers: 706-253-0359 OR 706-276-0359 OR 706-864-0359.
