COURTESY NOTICE: Uninterrupted electric service cannot be guaranteed [Date] Dear member, We work hard to keep your lights on around the clock but realize some outages can’t be avoided. We encourage all members to have a plan in place to stay safe in case of possible extended power outages. Having a plan is especially critical for those who: > May suffer from a medical condition where loss of electric utility service would be dangerous or lifethreatening > Those who depend on medical equipment that requires electricity to operate and termination of electric utility service would make operation of that equipment impossible or impractical. If you use medical equipment in your home that requires electricity, talk to your doctor or health care provider about what you may be able to do to keep it running during a power outage. Due to the complex nature of power delivery, uninterrupted electric service cannot be guaranteed to any member. Unforeseen incidents such as powerful storms and equipment damage from animals can occur at any time. In the winter months, ice accumulation can be particularly problematic. During times of high demand for electricity, grid-related rolling outages are also possible. Our goal is to limit the number of service interruptions and restore power quickly and safely when outages can’t be prevented. In any case, it’s best to form a plan to keep you and your loved ones safe. Please see the reverse side for helpful tips and information on forming a plan for power outages. Additional tips and resources can be found online at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s website, ready.org. For questions or concerns, please contact our offices during business hours, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sincerely, Butler Rural Electric Cooperative
