Power Outage in San Juan County – 12/22/22

4:59 pm The power has gone out across San Juan County.  Our automatic office generator and broadcast tower batteries are currently in operation across most of our network.  We expect battery life to last between 2-6 hours.  We will be monitoring the power situation to ensure our system comes back online when the power is restored.

6:41 pm – Several of our backup power supplies have been depleted, so more of the network will be without service until power is restored to the county. OPALCO estimated the restoration to be greater than 4 hours.
