CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Clarksville Department of Electricity (CDE) is preparing for possible outages due to severe weather.
In addition to mobilizing its own work force, CDE has already arranged for its contractors to keep additional crews on standby in the event the storm hits.
CDE says the fastest way to report an outage is to use the automated telephone system at 931-648-8151. It has the ability to recognize the customer’s phone number, meter number, or account number, and identify the customer’s address almost instantly. During major outages, CDE will periodically provide outage updates on the system as well.
Once an outage has been reported, there is no need to keep calling. The system will give the option to call back once CDE believes the power has been restored.
Customers with battery-powered wireless devices may report their outage online at www.clarksvillede.com and receive restoration updates through the CDE Facebook and Twitter feeds.
The public is advised to stay away from downed power lines or trees that have fallen on power lines. These can be reported to CDE at 931-648-8151.
