As crews continue restoration efforts, a section of Carlisle remains without service due to the need for full pole replacement.

We appreciate your patience as we work to restore power safely and as soon as possible.

    I am so sick and tired of these reckless drivers right now. It’s not just their lives at risk but other road users

    @stone
    Even if lampposts were placed off the roads, hidden in the bushes, our thrill seeking drivers would find them. Let’s face reality. Some people opt for premature death. So, let them be!!! I just hope that those who survive are made to repay the Treasury for damages incurred in restoring services to law abiding tax payers! Enough us enough!

    These drivers really don’t care. Isn’t it last week a young man nearly lost his life in that same area? Young drivers, time for the government to step in. Too reckless on n the road. Speeding is dangerous
