Woodbury County REC strives to give their consumers reliable electric service, but outages happen. Some of the sources of those outages are acts of nature, such as falling tree limbs, curious animals, ice build up, lightening strikes and wind. Outages are also caused by vehicle accidents, dig ins and vandalism.
Woodbury County REC also knows that some outages can be caused by mechanical problems. Patrolling the lines and doing maintenance is given a high priority. Please notify us if you see a situation such as a badly leaning pole, that could cause an outage later on so that we can remedy the situation before an outage occurs.
Are you prepared for an outage? Make sure you have flashlights with good batteries, and that the flashlight is where you can find it in the dark. If you are purchasing a cordless phone make sure it has a battery backup in it so that you will be able to use your phone during an outage.
