🚨 Wetumka Utility Customers 🚨

Due to a tree falling on an electric line, power will be shut off to the west side of town while the city crew works to safely remove the tree before it causes further damage to the entire line.

The crew will make any necessary repairs. They are working as quickly as possible to restore power.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

A localized fire weather threat exists today across portions of far southeast Oklahoma due to dry fuels and high winds. Heed existing burn bans in this area and notify authorities immediately of any accidental fire starts or if smoke is visible. One spark is all it takes.

• Avoid any activities that could spark a fire
• Check any recent outdoor burns to ensure they are fully extinguished
• Make sure trailer chains are not dragging
• Avoid driving off-road or parking in grassy areas
• Delay outdoor welding or grinding until conditions improve
