On Tuesday, January 7, 2025 all City offices will reopen and operate on normal business hours.

Trash collection will take place tomorrow with crews working to collect Monday routes that were missed due to today's closure and as much of the Tuesday route as possible.

Residents who have fallen limbs are asked to place them near the roadside (not in the road or on the sidewalk) and the City will collect them as the weather conditions allow. Please note Henderson Municipal Power & Light is not performing debris removal and any debris cut by the HMP&L crews will be the responsibility of the property owner to move to the curbside for collection.

Thank you for your patience as we work to restore power, clear roadways, and keep you and your families safe! If there are updates to tomorrow's schedule we will update this post.

Many traffic signals are out in Henderson. If you approach one, treat it as a 4-way stop.

In a few places around the district, traffic signals aren’t working due to power outages. Be sure to proceed with caution.

**Update January 6 - 8:00am

We currently have 7,819 members without power. Crews have been working throughout the night to assess damage and get power restored as quickly and safely as possible.

We will continue work changing poles and resolving outages until every member is back on. We know extended outages are frustrating, but we appreciate your patience as ice, snow, and below freezing temperatures can make this a slow process.

⚠️Always assume a downed power line is energized and dangerous. Do not go near it. Call us at 800-844-4832 to report.

⚠️We cannot take outage reports on social media. Please call 800-844-4832 to report outages.

⚠️You can view our outage map here: http://stormcenter.kenergycorp.com

⚠️Eliminate unnecessary travel. Roads may be dangerous and workers will be out trying to repair electrical lines.
