Substation Update: Fuse Replaced, System Under Active Monitoring

Heavy electrical load caused a fuse to blow at the local substation earlier today. Crews have replaced the fuse, and our team is actively monitoring the system to ensure the fix holds under current conditions.

With extreme heat, heavy air conditioning use, and peak evening energy demands straining the local grid, the system remains under high pressure. To help keep power stable and prevent another outage while we monitor performance, please minimize unnecessary electricity use during these peak hours.
