Scheduled outage in Keota this month We want to notify our members of a scheduled outage for Monday, Sept. 20, 2021. Crews will be performing maintenance on the Keota substation, which requires de-energization in order to safely perform the work. All members receiving power from the Keota substation will be involved in the outage. You can determine which substation provides your power by looking at your monthly bill beginning with the September billing cycle. If your bill shows Substation 10, you will be included in the outage. We do not yet have the estimated start time for the outage, but we will be scheduling automated phone calls to notify members on the Keota substation with that information. We encourage you to follow us on Facebook and check out our website for updated information. [3015200] We anticipate the outage to last four hours in length, however the maintenance could potentially take longer to complete. Please be assured crews will work as fast as they can to safely complete the work and get power restored. 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 as we perform the necessary maintenance to improve system reliability. Areas affected include: • North of Keota, to Keota Landing, Rock Ford, and Red Hill area • South of Keota to the Town of McCurtain • East of Keota to County Line Road (Cartersville, Star, Possom Holler, etc.) • West of Keota to Crossroads
