Pointe Coupee Electric would like to inform our members who are customers at Old River that when the flood stage at Baton Rouge reaches 30 feet all customers behind the levee will be subject to disconnect without any further notice.  This is due to safety concerns caused by the rising water.  As in the past all power across the levee will be disconnected when the flood stage reaches 35 feet at Baton Rouge.

When the water recedes Pointe Coupee Electric crews must first inspect all lines for any safety issues.  When it is deemed safe then the primary lines will be energized.  Once a customer decides to have their facilities turned on they should check the wiring and disconnect switch(es) to see if there has been any damage, then once everything is deemed safe, please turn off all breakers, then tape your name on your meter base.  After this is done call the dispatcher at (225) 638-3751 and let us know that you are ready.  Our field personnel will not connect any facilities without having a field order.
