KUA Restores Hurricane Dennis Power Outages
Kissimmee Utility Authority crews and tree trimmers are available around the clock to restore power to affected customers.
Kissimmee, FL (PRWEB) July 10, 2005 -- High winds from Hurricane Dennis on
Saturday knocked out power to nearly 1,000 of Kissimmee Utility Authority's
58,000 customers in Osceola County, Fla. Electric service has been restored to
all customers.
The utility reported scattered outages throughout
Kissimmee caused by lightning, uprooted trees and assorted debris. An uprooted
tree brought down power lines in the residential neighborhood of Renee Terrace,
located off John Young Parkway, and left 84 customers without power for
approximately two hours.
At 7:42 p.m. on Saturday, a broken tree limb
forced two major distribution feeders to trip offline. The feeders provide power
to portions of downtown Kissimmee and areas adjacent to Michigan Ave. KUA crews
cleared the debris and power was restored 13 minutes later at 7:55
p.m.
More power outages are possible overnight as outer bands from
Hurricane Dennis continue to move through Central Florida. KUA crews and tree
trimmers are available around the clock to restore power to affected
customers.
Customers who experience a power outage are asked to call the
utility's 24-hour outage line at 407-933-7777.
KUA will post daily
updates related to power outages and restoration at www.kua.com. Customers can also check local media outlets for
information.
Founded in 1901, KUA is Florida's sixth largest
community-owned utility providing electric, water and telecommunication services
to 170,000 residents in five Central Florida counties.
