BLUEBONNET TO UPGRADE POWER LINES IN BURLESON CO. TUESDAY; TEMPORARY POWER OUTAGE FOR SOME MEMBERS

  

Some Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative members in Burleson County will temporarily be without power tomorrow (Tuesday) as crews upgrade electric distribution lines.

Bluebonnet Electric says the upgrade will increase the voltage carried through the power lines and is needed to continue to reliably serve the growing demand for electricity in the area.

The work will be done in three phases.  The first phase outage will be from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., and will affect about 104 members near County Road 333, County Road 334, County Road 335, Cedar Creek Road, Green Tree Lane, Evergreen Lane, Highland Ranch Road and Private Road 2011.

The second phase will occur from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., affecting 81 members near Private Road 2006, FM 2000 north of Private Road 2006, County Road 339 and County Road 335.

The third phase will be from 2 to 4 p.m., impacting 91 members near FM 2000 south of Private Road 2006, County Road 378, Private Road 2026 and Olive Road.

According to Bluebonnet General Manager Matt Bentke, over 60 Bluebonnet employees and contractors, along with about 32 vehicles, will be in the area to complete the conversion.

Bluebonnet says it has contacted every member who will be affected by the outage.  Residents are asked to be cautious and aware of work crews.
