*** OUTAGE UPDATE - 8:00 A.M. ***

All members affected by the broken pole along Old Goodman are restored.

Underground crews are working to replace a failed transformer causing the outage to 31 members in Morgan Manor. Other crews are assigned to remaining scattered outages.

10 outage cases remain affecting 34 members. We will make a planned outage to replace a broken pole along Old Goodman Rd in Olive Branch at 12:30 A.M. This will affect roughly 400 members in the area for several hours, but this work is necessary to restore power safely.

Over 92k co-op members in MS are still without power. At the peak Sunday, outages totaled 163k. It is estimated that 700 out-of-state co-op lineman are in MS helping.
