Significant temporary outage in west Frankfort set for 11 a.m. to make permanent repairs; crews continue efforts to restore service county wide

/

FPB customers in west Frankfort will experience a significant but temporary outage this morning in the Meadows subdivision area, Doctors and Kings Daughters Drives, Western Hills/Bondurant/Bridgeport schools, C Michael Davenport, Augusta and Heritage subdivisions, Cardwell Ln and the businesses along the west side of US127 from around Century Plaza down to I-64. 

This temporary outage area includes south of US-60, north of I-64 and west of US-127. 

This large temporary outage is expected to start around 11a.m. and once started, will last for approximately 4 hours. We apologize for this inconvenience but it will be necessary to make permanent repairs to areas damaged by the storm on Friday.

FPB crews continue to work around the clock to repair the extensive damage from the severe wind storm last Friday. We have approximately 800 customers that are still without electric service as of Sunday morning from the original 7,000 to 8,000 that were affected by the storm.

We also have a significant number of internet, phone and cable outages to these same areas, as well as large portions of northern and southern Franklin County due to the Kentucky Utility and Bluegrass Energy electrical outages in those respective areas.

FPB crews are being assisted today by crews from the municipal utilities of Berea, Paris and Barbourville and will continue working until all outages are repaired.
