POWER

ENTERGY 5pm update  9/10:

Additional Resources:

We are working to locate crews and staging areas around Montegut. We are coordinating with the school district for permission to use facilities as well as other locations.

Work Progress:

We had to de-energize a line to make repairs along W. Park from Coteau Rd. south to Kenny St. That outage was scheduled to last about 5 hours and then we would restore those customers.

We will be energizing 2 feeders out of Gibson Substation. That serves the east bank of Amelia, before Hwy 90 crosses the canal.

As of this time, we have restored power to 2,800 customers. That’s almost 1% of the customers in Terrebonne Parish.

We have 6 crews (30 people) headed to Thompson Rd. feeding out towards Gulf Island.

Below are the areas where we are continuing to work:

Cascade Substation:

Serving W. Park Rd. between Cascade Dr. and Douglas Dr. This includes the Broadmoor Heights, Woodburn, Colonial Acres, Cadiere Park Heights, Westview Dr., & Deroche Estates neighborhoods. This also serves W. Main St. Charles St. and Buquet St.

Southland Substation:

Serving W. Main St. between Ziegler Ave and Hwy 90. This includes Greenfire, Bon Villa, & Buquet Subdivisions.

Entergy, SLECA and City of Houma teamed up to do a series of videos for the residents of Terrebonne Parish.

Many things factor into who gets power sooner and who gets it later. Either way, no one in this parish is forgotten.
