OSGOOD, IN — Southeastern Indiana REMC’s planned outage scheduled for the morning of April 13 at approximately 10 am to change out a damaged utility pole has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 19 due to the weather forecast.
The outage is expected to last three to six hours and will impact about 150 co-op members along Georgetown Road between Fairway and Morning Side drives, including Merchant Way, in Dearborn County.
Southeastern Indiana REMC encourages all members in the affected location to prepare for this interruption in service and will work quickly and safely to restore the power in a timely manner.
“Due to the forecasted rain on the 13th and 14th, we had to postpone the pole change out. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our members,” said Line Superintendent Jim Downey. “We try to make repairs without interrupting the electric service whenever possible but in cases like this one, it is not safe to change out the pole while it is still energized or while it’s raining.”
If crews are unable to complete the work on April 19, the backup date for the planned outage is April 20.
