AUB LOSES N. ATHENS CIRCUIT THREE DUE TO LARGE TREE ACROSS LINES

Athens, Tn. – At approximately 1:00 a.m. this morning, we lost North Athens Circuit 3 due to a large tree across lines on Short St. in Athens.  This resulted in approximately 1470 customers experiencing a power outage.  

Our crews were able to isolate the trouble and restore power to around 1200 customers by 2:35 a.m.

After much clean up and clearing of the large tree, the remainder of the 267 customers were back in service by 5:10 a.m. 

We would like to thank all those affected for their patience and give a huge kudos to our crews that worked throughout the night to get everyone back on by sunrise.
