SNAKE CAUSES WEEKEND POWER OUTAGE
Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative has restored power to over 1,200 members around Chappell Hill, following an outage caused by a snake on Saturday.
According to BEC Public Affairs Manager Will Holford, the outage occurred at 9:43 p.m. Once crews began patrolling electrical lines, they discovered that a snake was on one of the power poles, which caused a fault in the system. Crews removed the snake and re-energized the line from the station. Power was restored to those affected in a little more than an hour.
This marks the fourth snake-related power outage for BEC within the past week. BEC was called out to outages in Washington, Burleson, Lee, Bastrop, and Travis counties over the course of this past week.

I gotta tell ya, BlueBonnet Electric Co-Op is the best electrical supplier and service providers I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a few. How ever no matter how good the service is, slow deployment of service crews and engineers is a killer. Maybe that’s just another reason they’re still in business? Great job BEC!!!! I’ve never used another electrical supplier, I think I’ll install a solar panel platform for my house when I replace the roof in another year or so. Gotta keep em’ on their toes!
