Status Update - Rattlesnake Island Power Outage
I received the following response to an inquiry that I made this morning regarding restoring the power on Rattlesnake Island:
" I did check with our control center about this outage. The crews were working there yesterday. There is a very large beech tree that has fallen, lines are down and poles are broken. Our crews cannot handle the tree themselves and are going back tomorrow with a tree company to handle the complicated removal of the tree. Once the tree is taken care of, they will need to replace the poles and then put up the lines. They are hoping to get power on by the end of the week but it may go until the beginning of next week depending on how long the tree work and setting of new poles takes.
Thank you for your patience while we work to restore power safely."
