Wednesday lunchtime update

The number of members without power is going down, but there is still a lot of work to do. As of noon Wednesday, approximately 520 members were without power. Most of those are in the southwest portion of Cullman County and southeast portion of Winston County, surrounding Smith Lake.

The line crews are blanketing that area, while a few crews are located in other areas of the service territory finishing up other repairs and outages.

All of the biggest outages have been dealt with (one problem = hundreds without power). It's almost to the point where each repair that is made leads to one member having their service restored. We're not quite there yet, but right now, every repair means several streets or a group of houses has power again.

With a little luck, we could have everyone back on before the end of the day.
