C&L Electric Cooperative customers who are still without power should call to report their outage every day until the outage is restored.
State Representative Ken Bragg contacted DeltaplexNews.com Monday to provide this information he received. Additionally, DeltaplexNews.com contacted C&L and was told the same thing – customers must call in each day to report their outages due to the system clearing all tickets at the end of each day.
The DeltaplexNew.com newsroom has received numerous complaints from C&L customers stating they have not had their power restored and have not seen crews working in their area in several days. Many have stated that when they call to report an outage they are informed by C&L staff that the outage isn’t in their system, even if they have previously reported it.
Representative Bragg told DeltaplexNews.com that C&L is clearing all tickets daily, and therefore customers must call every day.
“They said it is the way their system is set up to clear tickets every day,” said Bragg. “If you get a phone call saying your power is restored [and it has not been restored], then you need to call back and report again.”
