Beauregard Electric Cooperative, Inc. (BECi)
reports outages in service area
DeRidder - Late Monday night's thunderstorms roared through
the BECi territory causing scattered outages to several thousand
customers.
Power has been restored to more than 4,000 customers since
midnight, but outages have been reported throughout BECi's
seven-parish service area particularly in Beauregard and Allen
Parish. The storm caused major damage utility lines in Singer,
Longville Lake, Sugartown, Fairview and Dry Creek. Crews are
continuing to work to restore power to the remaining 2,500
customers. BECi anticipates the majority of outages to be
restored by late evening; however, because of the intensity
of damage, some customers may remain without power throughout
the night.
Customers who are still experiencing outages should call
1-888-367-0275 (outage response system) or 1-800-367-0275
to be certain their outage has been reported. If you see any
downed power lines, remember to stay away from the area and
report the problem immediately.
