The unusual May weather
caused flooding, wind damage, and power outages. LREC understands members do not want to be without power for long periods of time. However, LREC linemen must
battle these elements to find the problems and restore electric service as quickly and safely as possible. Most power outages are caused by weather.

water covers the access road to electric lines, crews have to take detours around high water to get to the problem. Also with heavy storms come high winds and trees can fall on electric lines. These issues can take time. Our linemen work long hours to get the power restored for our members. Power restoration takes devotion of a lineman. These brave men are always on call. LREC
always has two crews standing by to serve you 24 hours a day, in the middle of the night or wee hours of the morning, weekends and holidays. If we have several outages we call in more employees. Can you imagine
getting
a call at 3 a.m. telling you to work outside during bad weather? Not many people are willing to face storms. Our linemen face harsh elements daily, all to serve you.
If you experience a power outage please report your outage with LREC via our SmartHub App, online website, or by calling our office at 918- 772-2526. We have an outage management system that helps us track our outages as you call in. You can view our system outage map on our website
www.lrecok.coop and see the affected areas and monitor the progress of restoring power.
