High Water at Old River
| Pointe Coupee Electric would like to inform our members who are customers at Old
River that in the future when the flood stage at Baton Rouge reaches 30 feet all
consumers behind the levee will be subject to disconnection 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 facility
without having a field order.
