Temporary
Repairs to Substation 68 Complete
MLGW has completed partial restoration to Substation 68. As a
result of the restoration, customers served from Substation 68, which includes
Arlington, Lakeland and a portion of Bartlett, can resume normal electric
consumption between the hours of 3:00 and 8:30 p.m. The request for energy
curtailment and concern of possible rolling blackouts has ended.
The
fire at Substation 68 in mid-July was an unprecedented event for MLGW. The
dedicated and tireless efforts of MLGW employees
who worked around the clock and the voluntary conservation efforts of
customers allowed the utility to isolate the damage and complete partial repairs
to the substation two weeks ahead of the originally projected August 8
schedule. MLGW expects total
restoration to Substation 68 to take up to six months.
While
MLGW reconfigures the available electrical circuits from Substation 68,
customers may experience temporary outages over the next few weeks.
MLGW
thanks all of its customers for their sacrifice
and patience during this time.
