Southern Pine Electric asks for everyone’s cooperation in following these safety guidelines:
- Follow social distancing guidelines and please stay at least six feet away from linemen and other workers; COVID-19 does not stop for tornados, so be diligent in taking precautions.
- Do not stack debris on top of downed power lines during clean up as this will delay restoration.
- When driving near SPE linemen or other workers, use extreme caution and reduce speed.
- Do not go near downed power lines.
To stay up to date on the latest information, please follow the Southern Pine Electric Facebook page and visit us online at southernpine.coop. Thank you to our members for continued patience and understanding as we work through the remaining outages.
