SAC OSAGE ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE
ICE STORM POWER OUTAGE UPDATE

Sac Osage again made great strides in getting their members back on line, Friday. Work continues into the evening with all Sac Osage crews and lineman from assisting cooperatives in the field. There were no significant setbacks Friday. This allowed a large percentage of homes to be reenergized. By 9:00pm Sac Osage anticipates all residential facilities that desire power and are not damaged will have it.

Some members went six days without power. Sac Osage is greatly appreciative of their patience and understanding during this difficult time. The linemen continue to work diligently in all areas as members remaining out of service are more widely dispersed. The linemen are thankful for the appreciation our members have expressed for their efforts.
