House Move will Cause Short Power Outages

Cuming County Public Power District crews will be assisting in a house move. The height of the house will require short – isolated power interruptions to allow for safe clearance. The house move will start at 8:30am Tuesday, December 20, 2016 and continue through the Cuming County Public Power District area until around 2:30pm. CCPPD crews will meet the movers at the intersection of County Road 10 and County Road G in Dodge County just west of Scribner. The home will then be moved down County Road 10 and jog over to Highway 91 and then onto Highway 275. The house will travel 2 miles north on Highway 275 to County Road B and travel east to County Road 14. The house will then be moved north on Road 14 for a mile to the county line to meet up with 19^th Road in Cuming County. From there on 19^th Road it will be moved north 5 miles. Movers will then take the house 1 & ½ miles west into where the house will remain. Customers along these paths will be notified if their power will be off for a short time. If you are out of power and did not get notified, please call so we can update our records. We request onlookers to not follow the CCPPD crews and movers when they moving the house through your area. Please plan alternate routes if you are planning to travel in this area. Contact the CCPPD office with any concerns or questions: 402-372-2463 or toll free 1-877-572-2463.

Outages Due to work on Dodge Substation

Upgrades to the facilities at the Dodge substation are being completed as expected. The new transformer and regulators will be updated in the next couple weeks and will be tested before going online.    CCPPD linemen are making plans to transfer customers to higher voltage lines. This will mean that some will need to be out of power to complete the job. Each customer affected will be called the week before. This will happen in a few weeks from now.   CCPPD wants to remind you to please drive slowly in any work area and be cautious of any workers. If there are any updates, we will let you know as soon as we have them.   Please contact the office with any concerns or questions: 402-372-2463 or toll free 1-877-572-2463.

All customers should have power restored. Please call the office with any issues 402-372-2463

Outage Update: Linemen are still working on the line and all customers should have power restored within 15minutes. If you have any issues, please call the office 402-372-2463.

Outage Update: Everyone should have power restored in the next 1/2 hour. If you have any issues please call the office 402-372-2463.

We are experiencing multiple outages. The linemen are called out and working on the issue. We don't have a time frame yet, but will update you as we get more information.

Be Aware of Scammers

On Tuesday, a CCPPD customer was contacted by a person that said they were the regional director for CCPPD. This person wanted to know “what she was going to do about her bill.”

All they would say is they needed a payment for her account. No number appeared on caller ID and scammer eventually hung up.

This kind of situation is confusing and scary for any customer.  Please be aware if you receive a suspicious call. The District wants our customers and general public to be aware and informed so if you question any call that you receive, please call the CCPPD office at 402-372-2463.
