Coolidge Update

Here’s an update from the power outage situation in Coolidge.

1. Regarding power restoration: If there is no damage to the underground lines APS has to hook up to, the estimated time for power restoration remains at 6 am, tomorrow.

2. All of the cooling centers are being consolidated to one, the High School Roundhouse (gym). It has a capacity of 700 people. Buses and dial-a ride are available for transportation to the High School. The Red Cross is providing pizza for those at the cooling center. The back up plan if more than 700 people need cooling is to use the Youth Center at 660 S. Main.

3. Since the Coolidge Police Dept. is essentially a 24 hour operation, and the Coolidge EOC is located there, the EOC will not ever close, even though activity may wane.
