Both, and for Rock Hill we have the city-level view: Rock Hill Utilities has published outages for Rock Hill under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-08-16. When Rock Hill is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the York County county-wide total shown separately as context.

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.
