Farmers RECC updates community about outages, response to winds

Mar 3, 2023 | 5:31 PM

GLASGOW — About 14,700 people remain without power across much of Farmers RECC’s service region.

All available crews and contracting personnel have been assigned and are working to restore power as safely and quickly as possible, according to a news release from the utility.

Farmers RECC crews are dealing with extremely adverse conditions this afternoon, including multiple broken poles, downed power lines and damaged equipment. 

“Farmers RECC asks for members to be patient as crews work to restore service.,” they said. “Due to the large number of broken poles, debris and continued sustained wind, restoration could be lengthy in some areas.”

Farmers RECC reminds its members to stay away from fallen power lines. Always assume that any line is conducting electricity.

Members are encouraged to report power outages to Farmers RECC via their Mobile App, their Member Center or by calling them at (270) 651-2191.
