Haywood EMC plans Power Outage for Pole Replacement
Jackson County, NC, January 18th, 2024 - Haywood EMC has planned a power outage that will affect approximately 180 member-owners south of the Cashiers community along and adjacent to NC107 (see below for full list of affected areas).
This outage is expected to last approximately 6 hours beginning at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday morning, January 18th, 2024. This outage will allow Haywood EMC lineworkers to safely replace a pole that was damaged during a previous outage on January 13th, 2024. The damaged pole was temporarily repaired on the 13th, and with impending weather and frigid temperatures, the 18th appears to be the best opportunity to make these necessary repairs.
The areas to-be affected by this outage are as follows: All areas on NC107 South of the intersection of Found Forest Rd. and NC107 - including; Rice Rd, Heady Mountain Rd, Bull Pen Rd, and the Walhalla Fish Hatchery. The outage will not affect Haywood EMC member-owners on Found Forest Rd.
