Kenergy power update Friday

Kenergy reports significant progress yesterday. The power company that service much of Crittenden County currently has 5,914 customers without power in its 14-county service area.

While 167 Crittenden County customers remain without electricity, a portion of those reflect outages at hunting camps, well sites, barns and garages. Very few home remain without power at this point, according to local officials.

Kenergy says that it has implemented a 10-day waiver for electrical inspections. In other words, residents can have power restored to their home by the power company and take 10 days to have it inspected. Generally, the inspection must be done before power will be turned on.
