The City of Marlow now has a power outage map, and reporting service, available 24 hours-a-day.
Of course, it is the city's electric department that works hard to limit outages, but storms, wildlife and other factors always play a role in power interruptions.
Residents received an opt-in text message on Monday, Sept. 22, but the number is available at any time for calls or text. The number is (580) 560-7811.
Should your power go out, take a look at the outage map to see if others around have reported an outage. Call, or text, your report and then monitor updates from the electric staff that responds.
HOW TO REPORT AN OUTAGE:
Text "START" - start receiving messages
Text "OUTAGE" - follow the texts to report an outage
Text "STATUS" - receive updates on the current outage
You can text "STOP" at any time to opt-out of the program.
There is one phone number linked to each City of Marlow utility account. If you prefer a secondary number, or would like to update your current number, please call City Hall.
