TVA Planned Power Outage Set for October 23

Parts of Humphreys County to be impacted by work

(October 18, 2024 – Waverly, TN) – Meriwether Lewis members in the Humphreys County service area surrounding Waverly will experience a four-hour power interruption on Wednesday, October 23 from 11:59 p.m. until 4 a.m. Thursday, October 24. TVA has scheduled maintenance at the South Waverly Substation resulting in the interruption. MLEC will take advantage of the downtime to also conduct work that could avoid another planned outage.

Members west of Trace Creek Road towards Waverly, east of Waverly to Gorman, north of Waverly to the Houston County Line and south of the city limits to the Buffalo and Bakerville area will be impacted. Most of McEwen and New Johnsonville will be unaffected. For members who want exact locations, an interactive map will be available at mlec.com under the “Services,” tab to see if your service will be affected.

Should your Meriwether Lewis Connect broadband not return when power is restored, unplug the router for a few minutes instead of pressing the “Reset” button. If needed, contact technical support by calling 931-296-2581, and selecting Option 3, then Option 2.

If anyone has concerns, please call MLEC at 931-296-2581. In the event of inclement weather, the work will be postponed.
