Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC) says there will be a planned power outage affecting the Nine Mile area of north Bledsoe County this Tuesday (June 8, 2021) from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. central.

System maintenance is required and unfortunately, the upgrades cannot be completed with power lines energized, so the planned outage is necessary.

Areas in the outage include:

U.S. Highway 127 North, from Hutcheson Road up to the Cumberland County line

Nine-Mile Crossroads

Edmonds Road

Big Spring Gap Road

East Valley Road North from Patton to Melvine Crossroads

Old State Highway 28 North

Beaty Cove Area

Melvine area

Lowes Gap Road

The SVEC line crew from Sequatchie County will work alongside the Pikeville crew during the outage so work can be completed more efficiently. If inclement weather prevents SVEC from performing the system upgrades on June 8, 2021, SVEC will attempt to complete the work the next day, on June 9, 2021 at the same times.
