Outages Planned for Thursday to Relocate Lines at Jug Handle Bridge
The Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative (CHEC) announced on Tuesday morning that islanders should expect two planned power outages on Thursday, as transmission lines are relocated at the site of the Jug Handle Bridge.
The power will be out at the following times and locations on Thursday, April 11:
Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo and Avon:
- 30 minute outage at 8:00 a.m.
- 5 minute outage at 2:00 p.m.
Hatteras & Ocracoke Islands will be served by limited diesel generators during this time. Please make reasonable efforts to conserve electric use.
If for any reason, your electric power does not return following the planned work, please call the Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative at 866-511-9862.
Wonder if the power line will be put on the jug handle bridge. Once the bridge is in place, if an inlet(s) opens, access to current line could be a problem.
