Large scheduled power outage 9/24/2013

I do not know if IREAMAN post over here so I thought I would put his post from Pinecam over here.

Due to a mechanical failure of an Xcel Energy high voltage switch, it is necessary for Xcel to have an emergency transmission line outage to repair the switch. This outage will affect all IREA customers in the Tiny Town, Conifer and Aspen Park areas. The outage is scheduled for Tuesday Sept. 24th at 10PM and is anticipated to last 5 hours. All IREA customers in the Tiny Town, Conifer and Aspen Park areas will be without power during this time. Other areas included are; South Turkey Creek, Hilldale Pines, North Turkey Creek, up High Drive to Stanley Park. 285 from West Ranch to Green Valley. Pleasant Park Rd out to Critchel and to the end of Kuehster Rd. Hwy 73 to Valley Hi, up Shadow Mtn to Brook Forest. Part of Conifer Mtn around Christopher Dr. On the Evergreen side it will be Upper Bear Creek, Yankee Creek, Squaw Mtn and Blue Valley.
If you live in or near these subdivisions or roads mentioned you can expect to be out.
We apologize in advance for the inconvenience.

Thank you! I appreciate the information and will share with others who might not be aware.

According to IREAMAN they were just notified this afternoon that the outage was to happen.

He also posted that he does not know how this will affect Xcel customers.

Thanks....now I know to set the cell phone alarm and not the clock radio alarm so I can get the trash out Wednesday morning by 7am.

Nice of IREA to let their customers know. But thank you HappyCamper!

Thx HC for the heads up to our neighbors in Conifer.
ScottB....not everyone has the link to IREA in their bookmarks.
It woul be nice to have IREA work a little harder to inform their customers of large outages such as this one.
No need to be condescending (IMO) because someone expressed frustration with a lack of effort on IREA's part.

Do you see IREA man mentioned anywhere on this forum (except for your comment)? And I don't suspect that everyone is checking IREA website every few hours just to make sure that the electricity is not going out for 5 or more hours.

Maybe you need to pay a little more careful attention to the thread before you shoot your mouth off?

Agree to disagree. I appreciated the link and bookmarked it. I was just surprised by the tone of the post......
