CAN YOU RECEIVE POWER?

Now’s the time to check whether your home can safely receive power. If your service entrance (the part you own) is damaged, I&M can’t reconnect power until a licensed electrician makes repairs. You can learn more about homeowner and I&M responsibilities here.  

If crews see damage that prevents I&M from restoring power to specific homes or businesses, we will call customers directly or leave a door hanger.
