Residents between Second and 33rd streets around the Boulevard corridor in Edmond are currently experiencing power outages. Earlier today, the City of Edmond, Government relayed the situation via a social media update that their electrical crews have been mobilized to address the disruptions. The precise cause of the outage has yet to be disclosed to the public, but restorations are promised to be delivered promptly after the issue is pinpointed.
According to the official social media post by the City of Edmond, they made it clear that crews were "responding to reports of outages impacting customers." They assured citizens that they aim to quickly discover and resolve the problem, but they did not specify a timeline for when occupants can expect to have their power restored. The wait continues as Edmond Electric sweeps the area to quickly identify the root of the issue.
The exact number of customers affected has not been released, but the impacted area suggests a considerable section of the community may be without power. The City of Edmond, on their Facebook page, assured residents it will "make repairs as soon as possible" once it identifies the cause. As the day progresses, Edmond Electric is likely to provide further updates on the situation, hopefully with news of restored electricity to those waiting in anticipation.
