To protect our crews on the line and our members in the surrounding area, United Power has shut off electric service to nearby homes. Outages may last from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. and homes may lose power more than once while the repairs are completed. We appreciate the patience of our members and assure you our crews are working as quickly as is safely possible to repair the system and restore electric service.
