ENTERGY 8 a.m. update for Friday, September 10:


Entergy continues to bring in additional linemen every day which means more manpower will allow them to work power areas faster. If your subdivision/street is not mentioned, they said they either did not receive information about it, or they have not reached you yet. They urge people to try to stay off of the roads unless absolutely necessary due to heavy traffic causing delays in power restoration.
Tomorrow, the parish will see an additional 600 linemen where they will be focused on the Chauvin & Montegut Substations.

Work Progress:
The City of Houma Substation was energized with Transmission voltage yesterday evening. They were able to energize the majority of the Bayou Gardens Subdivision and the surrounding area. They were also able to energize most of Simmons Dr., Payne St., Grand Caillou (from Howard Ave. to Sylvia St.), E. Tunnel (from Odette to Plant Rd.), & Howard St. (from Payne to Brittany St.).

As of this time, they have restored power to 2,731 customers. That’s almost 1% of the customers in Terrebonne Parish. Yesterday, they repaired 227 poles, 385 spans of down wire, & 199 other pieces of damaged equipment. To date, they have repaired a total of 578 poles (16%), 935 spans of down wire (25%), & 632 pieces of damaged equipment (17%).
