Hurricane Rita has devastated our electrical system, |
I'm always asked when the lights will go on. My estimate is it will be several weeks before the very last customer at the end of some line will be hooked up. |
Just because we got one-half in the first week doesn't mean the second half will be done in the next week. We are now working our way to customers with significant damage. It will be several weeks before all are restored. |
Ours (fuel-cost recovery) happens more smoothly and over a longer period. |
