The CVEC territory is currently under a Winter Storm Warning, with a mixture of snow, ice, wind, and freezing temperatures heading our way. These conditions can bring down trees, topple utility poles, and cause extended power outages.
CVEC is making preparations, including stocking trucks, scheduling internal crews, and making arrangements for mutual aid should the need arise. Rest assured that your cooperative is ready and will respond to outages as soon as it is safe to do so. In the event that outages do occur, you can report them here: https://www.mycvec.com/outage/report-outage. Stay up-to-date by visiting the Outage Center page at mycvec.com and by liking us on facebook.
