Outage Restoration Procedures
Outage Restoration Procedures
Our electric distribution system is constructed with protective devices such as fuses and circuit breakers. These confine the outage to specific areas, limiting the number of consumers affected by the power interruption. For example, if a tree falls on a tap line only that line would be without service. Other consumers serviced from the main distribution line would still have service, although their lights may blink momentarily.
