Utility Restoration Update

As of 4:30PM Tuesday April 8, 2008 -

Entergy - Power should be restored now to all residents in the village. They will begin, weather permitting, to come back around starting tomorrow to pick up line wiring, transformer and broken pole debris. This will take several days.

A T & T - They have several crews currently working in the village and have a lot to do!! they had 48 poles down (these are A T & T poles, not Entergy poles) and have replaced 38 of them so far. They estimate they have almost 7000 feet of cable to run and replace. This will take several days to do. They hope to have all services restored by Sun or Monday at the very latest.

Comcast - I spoke with Mike Wilson personally at Comcast and they are beginning to get their crews in the village as well. They cannot do anything until all poles from other services have been replaced and both Entergy is finished. Entergy is done now and they will be able to begin their work in earnest. Stay tuned for more COmcast updates.

Please know that there is inclement weather is in the forecast for central Arkansas for the next 2-3 days, possibly even some severe. This may hamper the efforts of these utility workers as they do their jobs.

If you need service restored to your house try contacting Chance Mitchell with Chr-eyton Electric 501-912-2498. They were very helpful and fair.
