The City of Collins will be working on the Power System beginning around 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 23, 2019, for about 4 hours.  They hope to keep the power on for everyone during this time but they are asking for everyone to not use air conditioning unless you are a senior citizen or someone who needs to stay cool with special concerns for their health.  This should enable the City to keep everyone with lights and television.  Please use fans when possible and reduce the power load where possible.  For any questions or concerns, please call Bob Shoemake at 601-517-0076.
On Sunday, October 27, 2019, the City of Collins will be changing out poles close to the Police Department and Fire Station.  Power will have to be off on all customers east of the railroad tracks and some locations west of the tracks in this area.  This will involve customers on Salem Church Road, Salem School Road, and Highway 588.  They are asking for everyone to not use air conditioning unless you are a senior citizen or someone who needs to stay cool with special concerns for their health.  Please use fans when possible and reduce the power load where possible.  Please make arrangements for that Sunday morning for 4-6 hours beginning at 7:00 a.m.  Any questions concerning this outage, please call Bob Shoemake at 601-517-0076.
These dates and times may change if there is bad weather or an emergency.  Again, this will only involve customers on the City of Collins Power System, not SPEPA.
The Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Collins thank you for your help in this matter.
