We currently have 1,758 Amicalola EMC members without power. These members are separated into 214 different areas. Our broken pole count is now at 113, and we expect that number to rise. It’s important to remember that many of these poles are in remote areas, sometimes in mountainous terrain, and replacing them is labor and time intensive. It’s also important to remember that while there may be no visible indicator of the reason your power is out, it can often be something down the line (of the circuit that supplies electricity to your area) that needs repair.
Today, our crews are working in the following locations and surrounding areas. We continue to be thankful for the clear weather and are expecting to make good progress. Further updates will be given as information becomes available. We thank you for your patience as we continue to battle to restore all power as soon as is safely possible.
