Met-Ed Power Outage #3 - Latest info

All,

First, the emergency gate will be opened late this evening in preparation for the work being done tomorrow.  Wild Acres has been made aware.  We ask you respect their road rules as we would expect of their residents on our roads.

I spoke with the foreman today for the Met-Ed work being done tomorrow.  Here's the latest (and probably final).  The outage will encompass a broader area of roads, including Section 6.  They will try to de-energize the lines as late in the process as possible and re-energize as quickly as possible to try and reduce outage times.  Many other areas besides ours are going to be affected.  Mountain Top will (at times) be blocked but they will minimize that as much as is feasible (again the emergency gate will be open).  Please remember, the crews that will be here were not responsible for scheduling this. Please let them do the work as quickly and as hassle free as possible.  The foreman seemed very confident that the work will be done in the eight hour time window.  I'm still waiting on a call from Met-Ed, but I do not foresee this being postponed. Met-Ed was made aware that the HoA SHOULD have been contacted in regard to this, and not just the individual home owners.  IF there is a further delay and should the road remained closed or blocked, we will keep the emergency gate open.  Please look at the Wild Acre Map here on the website if you're not familiar with their roads. You will find a map under the "Useful Information - Community Information" tab. Again, please be safe with ANY alternative heating device(s) you may use.
