Linemen assist with Centralia storm recovery 

COLUMBIA, MO (July 7, 2016) - Ten Columbia Water & Light linemen volunteered to help restore power in Centralia, Missouri after a storm destroyed portions of the electric system on Thursday morning. The linemen left for Centralia this morning and will continue to help until the work is completed or they are needed in Columbia. The work is being coordinated through the Missouri Public Utility Alliance. The mutual aid program allows utility workers to help during wide-spread outages in other communities. Columbia Water & Light pays the salaries of the linemen and then will be reimbursed by Centralia’s municipal utility.

NOTE: The Missouri Public Utility Alliance can be reached at (573) 445-3279.
