A power outage affected 613 residents across across Kachemak Bay on October 5.
The outage was reported at 7:17 p.m., and at approximately 8:26 p.m. Homer Electric Association Operations crews were able to isolate the outage to a section of power line between Six Mile and
MacDonald Spit. The power was restored to all but 44 members by placing them on remote generation.
Due to darkness, HEA crews flew over at first light on October 6 and discovered a tree had fallen onto the power line. By 10:45 AM, the line crew had made final repairs and the remaining 44 members were back in power.
Remember to stay away from downed power lines, which may still be energized, and call HEA at 888- 868-8243 or 911 to report it immediately.
