WRECC Reports All Power Restored

Crews Worked Day and Night For Entire Week

Darren Doyle, story:
WRECC has reported that all power outages have been restored as of this afternoon after storms damaged the entire region last Friday, breaking nearly 400 utility poles with hundreds of trees and branches damaging power lines everywhere.

The Nolin Lake area in Edmonson County was without power the longest, with many having to wait until today for restoration.

More than 50 additional crews came to help with the huge undertaking of restoring more than 45,000 addresses with power over the past 7 days. Work has been going day and night since the storm.

"Warren RECC is pleased to report that as of 4:00 p.m., our crews have completed restoration efforts," said WRECC Director of Communications Kim Phelps in a press release. "All known outages that can be restored related to this past weekend’s storm have been restored. If you are still without power at this time, please report it to one of our outage lines: In Warren County call 270-843-9710. Outside Warren County, call 1-888-604-4321."
 
She also said that with storm outages restored, the focus is now on clean-up efforts. According to WRECC, if you have debris from the restoration (such as poles or wires) left on your property, they will be back to clear that area.
 
"We would like to remind all our members that spring is right-of-way clearing time. As we have just seen, trees and power lines are not a good mix. Please be patient in the coming months as right of way crews work in your area."
