On September 22, crews replaced pole with a woodpecker hole – and this is what they found! While the hole seems harmless on the outside, you can see the damage caused inside the pole – which includes evidence of other animals nesting inside.
AND the pole was only 6 years old!
This is a great example of some of the hidden dangers facing linemen in the field! Thankfully the crew was able to successfully replace the pole before it caused an outage. Great work, crew!
Wow
Great job 👏 👏👏
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE @ 10:00 P.M. SATURDAY 09/24/22
This is not a planned power outage. This is a system update for our customer information system - that includes website, payment portal, smart apps, and automated system for payments.
All systems will be down for upgrades, today, Saturday, September 24th, 2022. The event will begin at 10:00 p.m. and should take no longer than a couple of hours. This will NOT affect our outage system. If you need to report an outage, please text OUT to (812) 384-4446 or follow the prompts on the automated system. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
So we should expect on a Saturday night that we will have no electricity? Or is this only affecting your systems that your updating? Just asking for clarification.
Just had our power go out for a few minutes is this part of the upgrade? At 1:47pm Saturday
Is this for real?
I understand maintenance, I appreciate maintenance but why not shut down during daylight hours. My anxiety has already started...my portable oxygen lasts for 2 hours.
The weather looks great this weekend! ☀️ Be sure to stop by West Boggs Park for the Boggs Bash! Offering FREE admission to the park and many family-fun activities to enjoy.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

The outage has been restored! 😊

🎥 WATCH: Earlier this week, UDWI REMC employees in the Operations Department met with personnel from Hoosier Energy to participate in skills improvement training at our Scotland substation.
Because of their high voltage, substations present some of the greatest dangers to our linemen. ⚠️
UDWI REMC linemen, dispatchers, engineering staff, and information technology employees are provided an opportunity to review procedures and interact with seldom-used equipment. Watch the video below to see our training in action!
