Power restored to Ursuline Avenue area BTU customers

BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) — Over 650 Bryan Texas Utilities (BTU) customers are without power early Sunday morning.

BTU’s outage map shows a major outage between N Texas Avenue and E Willam J. Bryan Parkway.

Crews have been assigned and are working to restore power.

KBTX has reached out to BTU, but the cause of the outage has not yet been provided.

BTU is operating at what they call Emergency Operations Level One, meaning additional crews are staffed to handle outages, and more are on standby.

To limit strain on the system as power is restored, BTU asks customers to turn most switches off when they lose power.

“If you do experience an outage, what we would recommend is turning everything off except for one light bulb so that you know when power is restored, and then slowly start turning your appliances back on,” said Meagan Brown, BTU’s public information officer.

About 35 BTU customers on Cargill Drive are experiencing a separate outage. Limited information is available at this time, but a crew has been assigned.
