Utility crews are managing dozens of outage sites with flood advisories and closed customer centers complicating restoration efforts.

Overview

  • The utility’s in-person customer service centers were closed for Juneteenth and customers were directed to emergency phone lines and online account services.
  • Heavy rain produced a flood advisory for parts of the Hill Country and northern Bexar County and caused dangerous road and driving conditions.
