Residents of Garyville, prepare for a temporary disconnect as Entergy has announced a scheduled power outage to take place in your community. On Tuesday, December 16, from approximately 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the lights will go dark as utility work commences.
According to a social media post from St. John the Baptist Parish, the outage will impact multiple streets including Aaron Ln., Anthony F Monica St., and Buster St., among others. The work being conducted is essential for maintaining the reliability of the network; therefore, this inconvenience, though temporary, is a necessary step in ensuring a steady supply of electricity in the long run.
If you reside on Church St., Cranberry St., Dewberry St., or any of the other listed streets, such as Jasmine St., Main St., or Vita Ln., anticipate interruptions in your daily routine and prepare accordingly. It is advisable to charge devices ahead of time, and if you have medical equipment that requires electricity, make arrangements to have a backup power source.
Entergy urges those affected to get in touch if further information is needed. Simply call 1-800-9OUTAGE. While power outages may be an inconvenience, remember this work is key to upgrading the infrastructure and preventing unplanned outages in the future, which can be far more disruptive.
