We understand how frustrating repeated outages can be. Some are caused by factors outside of our control, like weather or incidents on the larger grid. That said, we actively maintain and upgrade our infrastructure to reduce the frequency and duration of outages as much as possible.
It is also important to note the seasons – Fall/Winter time lineman are responding mostly to weather related events. Spring/Summer is time for maintenance and system upgrades while weather is better but these activities can in turn cause “out of the ordinary” outages as we work to improve system reliability. Spring/Summer is also a popular time for curious critters to cause outages.
