Planned Outage for Parts of Perry County
MLEC crews replacing equipment on April 14
(April 10, 2025 – Linden, TN) – Meriwether Lewis has scheduled a planned power outage on Monday, April 14 from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. The outage will affect members in the Cypress Creek, Marsh Creek and Spring Creek areas.
We apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause. Unfortunately, a damaged piece of equipment must be replaced to maintain system reliability. Performing this work under controlled conditions now will help prevent an extended, unplanned outage in the future.
“We appreciate your understanding and patience as we improve our system to provide safe and reliable power to members,” District Manager Mike Hickerson said.
If your MLConnect broadband does 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 931-589-2151, and selecting Option 3, then Option 2.
If anyone has concerns, please call your local MLEC office at 931-589-2151. In the event of inclement weather, the work will be postponed.
