Some Dunklin County towns still without power

Tuesday, February 10, 2009

Following the recent ice storm that caused power outages in towns all around Dunklin County, some local residents are seeing the light while others are remain stuck in the dark.

In the southern part of the county, Senath, Hornersville, Cardwell, and Arbyrd remain without power and have no official estimate on when power will be restored.

The city of Senath is using generators to run the water and sewer, city hall, and the power station.

Hornersville is using a generator to run the community building, the city well, and the city's lift station.

Cardwell is using generators to run their water and sewer systems and community building. The community building is currently serving as a warming and feeding center.

In the northern part of the county, the towns who are serviced by AmerenUE were fortunate enough to have the company hook generators up to their sub-stations, which in turn supplied electricity to the towns.

Some of those towns include Holcomb, Clarkton, and Gideon.

Campbell, Mo., used a generator used a generator to power their town until their utility provider, Entergy, got the town back online at approximately 4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 8.

According to Campbell City Clerk Randall Baker, the city is currently at about 96 percent power.

"We had a few residences with major service damage," Baker said.

POWER PERCENTAGES:

Senath - 0 percent

Hornersville - 0 percent

Arbyrd - 0 percent

Cardwell - 0 percent

Holcomb - 100 percent

Clarkton - 100 percent

Campbell - 96 percent
