For those of you who’ve seen the signs on Highway 80 on your way out to the islands but didn’t understand, there’s a planned power outage this weekend for Wilmingston, Talahi, and Tybee Islands.  According to Georgia power, this outage is necessary to conduct maintenance on six spans of overhead ground wire on the transmission structures across Tuner Creek, adjacent to the Islands Expressway.

Power will be out on Saturday, November 15 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.  Should inclement weather prohibit the work, it will be postponed until Saturday, November 22.  This will affect nearly 12,000 households.  If you’ve got any questions, feel free to call Georgia Power’s customer service line at 1-888-660-5890.
