Scheduled PEC outages in Marble Falls
Planned power outages are underway as Pedernales Electric Cooperative work crews make upgrades to lines in the area.
On Wednesday, March 26, hundreds of meters might be affected by the planned outages in the northeast portion of Marble Falls. As of 10 a.m., 628 meters were affected and four outages were detected on the PEC outage map.
Another outage is planned in the Marble Falls area Thursday, March 27, that could affect up to 271 meters.
Work should be completed and power should be restored by 4 p.m. on both days, or likely sooner. If your power is not back by 4:30 p.m., call PEC at 888-883-3379.
According to PEC Media Relations Specialist Kendra Acosta, co-op members in the planned outage areas had been notified of the work multiple times in the two months leading up to the outage by letter, email, text, and phone calls.
“Every effort will be made to restore service as quickly as possible, as the safety and comfort of our members are foremost in our minds,” reads a March 11 letter sent to those in the planned outage areas across Marble Falls.
The power line work is necessary to up their voltage capacity to “better serve the growing community of Marble Falls,” Acosta said.
