Power and Broadband Restoration Update #3

MLEC crews make progress while battling conditions
(April 3, 2025 – Centerville, TN) – Relentless rain and wind have made power and broadband repair efforts difficult over the past 24 hours. Meriwether Lewis crews have worked tirelessly through the elements and have seen their progress fluctuate since the issues last night. It is estimated that less than 200 members, mostly in Houston County, remain without power currently. Outage numbers may vary throughout the night considering flood conditions and forecasted weather.
These weather patterns have been truly difficult for those we serve and those serving. For the safety of our crews and the community, power and broadband restoration efforts will pause overnight and resume at first light. We are grateful our communities have had only a few minor accidents and appreciate your patience and understanding as we diligently work to restore service as quickly and safely as possible.
We will provide our next update by 10:00 a.m.
