While these co-ops are just to our north and east, they're still part of our greater East Texas family, and our crews were quick to volunteer to aid in their outage response.

After completing restoration on their home system, 20 Sam Houston EC employees headed out Sunday and Monday to help restore service at Deep East Texas EC and Jasper-Newton EC. Cooperative contractors were also able to assist these systems.

Sam Houston EC was established to follow the Seven Cooperative Principles. Two of these principles focus on helping other cooperatives and serving our communities.

Sleet and freezing rain pushed through East Texas last night and into this morning. The edge of the storm is still moving through our service area.

If you are using a generator, please connect it safely so it does not energize the distribution system, which endangers linemen. Also, place it in an open space to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Visit https://t.co/v2LMQWeXw3 to learn more.
