A note from CPS Energy: We are preparing for possible freezing rain and wind gusts in our area through midweek. Severe weather can cause challenges to the reliability of your power. Above-ground electrical equipment can sustain damage caused by lightning, falling tree limbs hitting power lines, or power lines being broken. We are monitoring the situation and our crews are prepared to respond quickly and safely to any reports of downed power lines and outages. We ask for your patience as we work in possible dangerous driving and working conditions. The safety of our community and employees is extremely important, so please remember #SafetyFirst and follow us on our Facebook and Twitter page to keep up-to-date with the latest weather information.
Stay Safe
• If you have to be out, please drive carefully and remember to MOVE OVER & SLOW DOWN for our crews and other first responders.
• Please stay away from downed power lines and report them to CPS Energy at 210-353-HELP (4357). Do NOT attempt to move or drive over the lines. Treat all wires as if they are live. Power lines may still have electricity running through them even in an outage.
