A power outage has been scheduled for 29 September 2012, starting at 5 am and will continue until 6 pm. The
outage will take place close to the intersection of South Riva Ridge and Nancy Drive and at the intersection of
Chapel Drive and South Riva Ridge. The reason for the outage is to upgrade the current power lines and make
Coblenz Circle able to be back feed from another direction. We are combining two outages into one. The outage
will be for the same 12 hours but ¾ of the homes will only be out of power for up to 4 hours. Below is a break-
down of who will be affected and for how long. It will affect the 9000 area housing (Coblenz Circle only), MP Sta-
tion, CID, FD, CDC's, Main Post Chapel, Car Wash for approx 12 hours starting at 5 am. The following housing areas
will be affected for up to 4 hours starting at 5 am. 9000 area(9050 thru 9086) 9100, 9200, 9300, 10800. Again, the
outage is scheduled for approx 12 hours but if done sooner power will be restored immediately. If you have any
questions please contact Jeff Carroll at 523-0458.
