Residents and businesses in parts of Wayne and Romulus should prepare for a brief break in their power supply early next month, as utility crews undertake necessary maintenance work. On February 1, from 10 to 11 a.m., approximately 350 customers served by DTE Energy will experience a power outage, details of which were disseminated through a notice by the City of Wayne, as reported by CBS News Detroit. This service interruption has been planned to facilitate a load transfer by DTE crews.
The temporary outage, as described in an alert originally published by CBS News Detroit, will affect precisely 363 locations. The City of Wayne informed residents that the temporary outage is necessary to maintain the reliability and safety of the electrical grid. Affected areas have been mapped and shared to help residents prepare.
Further information regarding the upcoming service interruption was shared via a social media post from the City of Wayne Administration Community Updates, reinforcing the details of the outage. Alongside the post, an outline of the affected precincts has been provided, which residents and business owners are encouraged to refer to in anticipation of the disruption.
DTE has advised those affected by the scheduled work to make necessary preparations. Both DTE and city officials are urging customers to share information about the outage to ensure everyone in the affected area is prepared for the one-hour interruption. It's a small concession to ensure the reliability and consistency of the power supply in the long term.
