You should sign up for the SECO text messages for outages, and if you have text notifications, you should report the outage IF you didn't get a message. I got a message that the power was restored, but the house didn't have power. Then I call. .

also very helpful when traveling away from the house and you can't see the security cameras, you will know why.
At some point I would guess there are overhead lines prior to getting to the underground of the Villages so issues off the reservation could be seen. But of course underground is a little different but the same.
