Reporting a downed line helps crews find the fault faster. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

How accurate is the restoration estimate?

Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
