To report an outage:
By Text
All members with a cell number on file are enrolled in outage texting automatically.
When an outage occurs, you might be notified automatically, however if not, simply text #out to 000530 or 888-338-5530, you will be asked to verify if it the address attached to the phone number, or another address to be reported! If you'd like to know the status of an outage, text #status to 000530 or 888-338-5530 and you will receive the information available, as well as a text when power is restored. If you decide you do not want to participate in the service, standard messaging rates do apply, you just need to text STOP to 000530 or 888-338-5530.
