The nine-hour blackout was originally slated to occur last weekend but was postponed by Consumers due to the threat of inclement weather.
That service interruption is now scheduled to begin at 10:00 p.m. Saturday and run until 7:00 a.m. Sunday morning, impacting 3,507 customers in Quincy, Butler Township, and parts of Coldwater Township.
It might be delayed by one hour to allow for the completion of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce Pints In The Park event, which is scheduled to run until 11:00 p.m. Saturday.
Consumers Energy spokesperson Brian Wheeler says that the work will cause an intermittent or total loss of electricity, impacting neighborhoods around Marble Lake and the east side of Bartholomew Lake.
Local residents who rely on refrigerators, water wells, or critical medical devices are urged to secure backup generators or alternative arrangements prior to the disruption.
