Power outage updates from mayor


Marion Mayor Mickey Alexander says he has been informed that Kentucky Utilities has fewer than 1,000 customers without power in the immediate area. He said a KU official has told him Friday morning that virtually all power should be restored by Wednesday, Feb. 11 in the City of Marion.

Kenergy, the other power company serving Crittenden County, has also made great strides. It reported about 1,100 customers without power early this morning.

Kentucky Utilities has delivered a shipment of 100 and 200 amp service boxes to H&H Supply in Marion for its customers that need to replace their breaker boxes.

The map above is difficult to read at low resolution, but the red lines indicate KU lines that are not in service at this time. Blue lines indicate those where restoration is complete.
