Customers in the following areas with PUD fiber will experience an overnight internet outage: Emerald Lake, Zephyr Lane, Roos Court, Mason Benson Rd, Mason Lake, Ballantrae Dr, Tenby Way, Tiree Pl, Muirkirk Rd, and Aycliffe Dr, and surrounding areas while the PUD transfers critical equipment starting on the evening of June 7th at 7:00 p.m. into the morning of June 8th 7:00 a.m.
You can help us get the power back on during an outage, especially in the colder fall and winter months.
We can see problems if lots of electrical devices that use plenty of power (like water heaters, space heaters, and electric heating systems), all try to come back on at the same time. This large rush of current is called “cold load pickup”, and it can sometimes cause problems on the system. That’s why linemen sometimes have to bring customers back on in stages, delaying restoration times for all customers.
If you follow our advice, and turn off those energy hogs until at least 20 minutes after power has been restored, everyone can get their electricity back on faster.
