The scheduled, nine-hour outage will start on Friday, October 7, 2016 at 11PM and last through through Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 8AM.

The electricity co-op services about 2,000 residences in North Bend.
Tanner Electric anticipates the work to be finished in a timely manner,” but stated if any unforeseen circumstances beyond their control should arise, the outage could extend past 8 AM on Saturday, October 8th. If this occurs Tanner Electric staff will post any necessary updates or changes on their website at http://www.tannerelectric.coop.
For customers with medical conditions that could be compromised due to this service interruption, Tanner asks that you please make arrangements or accommodations to stay with a friend or family to ensure your safety until the power outage has been completed.
