Carbon Power and Light has announced a three-hour power outage for Saratoga on Sunday, August 21st to allow crews to upgrade voltage regulators at a substation.
According to a news release from CP&L, the voltage regulators are being upgraded as part of ongoing scheduled maintenance program. The regulators ensure a steady flow of voltages, smoothing out spikes and dips that can damage electrical equipment. The units are replaced according to a predetermined schedule. Time is up for the regulators in Saratoga. The outage will affect Carbon Power services in Saratoga, including areas east and west of town, north to the Pic Pike Road and south to Spring Creek.
A big concern during any outage is the impact to people who depend on medical devices powered by electricity. Carbon Power and Light maintains a list of such customers and personally calls them prior to outages. Contact the Carbon Power and Light to be put on the list if you are not on it now.
The outage is planned for Sunday morning, 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., August 21st.
Call (307) 326-5206 with questions or concerns.
