Scheduled outage of Liberty substation this month We want to notify our members of a planned outage on our system. The transmission provider that provides power to Substation 14 (Liberty Substation) will be performing maintenance on Substation 14 during the month of October. The maintenance being performed requires the transmission provider to de-energize the entire substation in order to safely perform the work. This means members receiving electric power from Substation 14 will be without power while the work is performed. All members receiving power from Substation 14 (Liberty Substation) will be included in this outage. The maintenance is expected to take a total of eight hours to complete, which will take place over two consecutive days. This work will be divided up into two separate outages lasting approximately four hours each day. Maintenance will begin at 9 a.m. on both days with power restoration anticipated to be completed at approximately 1 p.m., however the maintenance could potentially take longer to complete. Please be assured their crews will work as fast as they can to safely complete the work and get power restored. We have scheduled automated phone calls to help notify the members included in the outage. Members can follow us on Facebook and check www.cooksonhills.com for updated information on the outage. We urge members to take measures and plan accordingly during this outage. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding while the transmission provider performs the necessary maintenance to improve system reliability. [788108] Please notice the substation listed above has a number associated with it. These numbers help our employees identify the substation locations. In an effort to improve communications with our members, we have recently added two additional pieces of information to your monthly bill. Beginning with the September billing cycle, members will be able to locate their substation and feeder number on their bills. This new information allows members to determine if they are included in such things as a scheduled power outage and fiber-to-the-home construction. Triennial survey continuing through December. Members may receive a phone call or email. We appreciate your feedback!
