Default Power outage

Power is out in Gilchrist. Anywhere else? SECO doesn't answer the phone.

Whoops. Just came back on.

SECO has a Facebook page.. says 3200 people out .. map shows is all below 466A.. something about a feeder cable?? check out their page.. it comes up on my Facebook page automatically whenever there is an outage.

Thank you SECO
We've lived here since 2014, and have yet to experience a power outage under SECO.

And I hope you never do.

However I have lived here since 2006 and experienced more power outages in that time than all other locations we resided in over the years. some from heavy snows bringing down power lines, etc. Mine is not a complaint but an observation.

Again SECO is top notch and I attribute some of problems due to rapid growth

Personal Best Regards:

I have a theory that many of the power outages here are caused by two things;

Sinkholes. Or shifting sands under the surface.
Hooking up a new area under construction.
