LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT   

If you or someone in your home requires electrically-operated life support equipment, please let us know.

What we can do:

• Notify you when we're having a planned outage, so you can make arrangements if necessary.

• If possible, give you an estimate of how long the power may be out in an unplanned outage, so that you can make arrangements if necessary.

• Move you up on our priority list, when possible, if we have several outages to repair.

What we can't do:

• We can't guarantee that you'll have power all the time. Power outages occur for a variety of reasons, including storms, accidents and equipment failure. We do our best to get power restored quickly in those situations.

• We can't guarantee that we'll never shut off your power for non-payment of outstanding bills. We'll be happy to set up a payment schedule if you're having trouble paying your electric bill on time.

What we recommend:

• We recommend that you have some sort of emergency back-up system in place if the power ever does go out.

• We also recommend that you have a plan to deal with any extended outages. It's not unusual for a serious storm to cause outages lasting for several days. You may want to think about alternate places to stay if such a situation occurs.

To let us know if someone in your home is on a life support system, just contact your local PUD office. Click here to find a listing of phone numbers and addresses.
