SAFETY ALERT: Power Shutoffs Underway Due to Rising River Waters

Due to rising water levels along all three rivers, we are again preemptively de-energizing electric service in select locations where floodwaters are rising.

The safety of our community, our first responders, and our line crews is our highest priority. Water and electricity do not mix, and taking these preventative measures helps protect lives and critical infrastructure.

As of now, power has been safely isolated in the following areas:

* Bloomfield: South Church / CR 5005 area
* Lee Acres: Low-lying areas
* Wild Horse Valley area
* Harper Valley area near the river

Our teams are actively monitoring conditions on the ground. We will continue to evaluate additional areas for isolation as needed based on river levels, flood forecasts, and physical inspections.

The bridge on Road 5500 is closed due to the San Juan River rising and water crossing the road.

Edit to add: This is the only current bridge closure we are aware of.

As we move into evening hours, this is a reminder that evacuations are in place for 1/2 mile from all three rivers.
Be careful around washes and low-water crossings.

You can't see the river in the dark, so if there is any concern about how close you are to the river, get out now. Plenty of space at McGee Park.

All rivers are rising and will continue to rise through the night. Peak flows will not be until Monday.

All local schools are out on Monday, and courts are closed.

Please be safe tonight.
