LaPlata Electric Association reported Monday, Nov. 2, that it has 1,893 meters out across southwestern Colorado.
LPEA stated the following in a post on Facebook:
At this point, we have 1,893 meters out across our service area, as pictured in the screenshot of our outage map. All outages are related to the severe storms and flooding and will require road access before we can make repairs.
At this time, all county roads in La Plata County are closed, among several major highway closures across our entire service area. Crews are out making repairs in accessible areas and will continue to do so until all meters are restored.
Due to the road closures, our Durango and Pagosa Springs physical offices will remain closed, but our staff is working remotely and is available by phone and chat.
Please view the links in our bio for more info, and our website for more information.
Thank you to all who are working tirelessly to keep our community safe through the inclement weather.
