Planned power outage to affect 1,000 Summit County residents
A planned power outage this Wednesday will impact about 1,000 people in Summit County.
According to an online post by the county, the Silver Creek and Tollgate areas are expected to have no power from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. while Rocky Mountain Power transfers power to new lines that were relocated along Mammoth Drive.
Summit County has asked residents to spread the word about the scheduled outage, especially to those who may need special assistance. They shared various tips for preparing, including having a first aid kit and a gallon of water per person.
Those with electricity-dependent medical needs are asked to make backup plans with their medical providers and to call Rocky Mountain Power to inform them of the situation.
