In the last few days, we have taken care of three different animals that have been shot with a pellet gun. These animals have been in different locations in Perryton and have all had the same pellets removed. As a pet owner, we would like to bring this to your attention. Please be on the lookout and if you see something, please contact the Perryton Police Department.

During these outages where line has to be built, we sometimes get a call from a member wondering why his/her neighbor is on and they are not. The answer can be for a number of reasons.
- The NPEC method is to restore the main line in an area first and then work taps. Before a stretch of line is finally energized, we cut a slug in the line that isolates the repaired line from line sections that are still needing work. At that point we will go back and get taps to houses energized.
- If there is a long tap needing extensive work, we may choose to fix the least damaged taps before moving onto that section of line.
- The third reason may be that we inadvertently overlooked that tap. If you see that you have limited damage and you think we have driven past your place for no reason, you should give us a call and let us know so we can determine why you were not energized.
There may be other reasons but generally I have covered the most likely reasons power to your home may not be restored.

We appreciate ALL the kind words of encouragement, prayers and generosity. ♥️

Hi all, we still have no power at our offices as of Wednesday. We will need time to move our physical network to a place with electricity, so our Thursday newspaper will be printed and distributed on Friday afternoon.

We have a lot of info and photos to document what our community has been through and don’t want to rush a paper out so we have switched press days for this week.

Thank you all so much!

We have scattered outages throughout our entire system. With new outages still coming in. Areas affected are (Roberts, Hansford, Ochiltree, Lipscomb, Hutchinson and Hemphill).

We have crews working in every direction possible. These conditions such as fighting against the wind make it challenging as is but then you add not being able to drive down a road with out getting stuck. So, please bare with us and thank you for understanding.

If you are still without power and have reported your outage we are aware you are still out and have NOT overlooked you. As soon as a crew has finished in an area they are immediately dispatched out and assigned to the next location.

If you want to report your outage or make sure you are in our system please do not hesitate to do so by calling 806-435-5482 or texting if you have your account set up to do so. (visit our webpage under "outages" to learn how to get set this up)

We had 14 poles down that have now been put up and the line is being strung up now. - Hemphill TX.

Individual outages being working on right now are within the areas of- Lipscomb, Ochiltree, Hansford and Roberts.

If you have reported your lights blinking please be aware this is out of anyone's control and is a battle itself. We do advise you to report if you are blinking so we are aware of this in your area.

Please DO NOT report outages through Facebook messenger. We appreciate you utilizing our FB page but by messaging us you are out of power does NOT input your message in the system. You must CALL/TEXT your outage in.

Once again, thank you!

Highway 83 is closed and we can’t get to shamrock where our press is located - because of this, our Thursday paper will be out tomorrow!!

03/17/2021

We strongly encourage you to CALL 806-435-5482 or if you have the texting system set up please do so.

Our entire system has many poles down, distribution & transmission issues. We are aware many of you are blinking continuously.

Please keep in mind that this is all weather driven.
Weather is unpredictable and we do not have estimate times at the moment. The road conditions are making it a challenge as well.

When we have updates of progress and locations we will do a separate post and update before 5pm.
Please stay safe!
