Dawson Public Power District will have a planned power outage for the village of Brady today, July 20, from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. A transmission line pole was struck by lightning, splitting a large section of the pole vertically. To safely replace the pole, Dawson PPD will need to temporarily shut off power.

Dawson PPD encourages residents to stay cool and hydrated during the summer heat.

“We understand that it is hot today, and we will do our best to change the pole out as quickly and safely as possible,” said Jeremy Kaiser, Manager of Operations.

Residents are encouraged to call Dawson PPD with any questions or concerns at 308-324-2386.
