Duke plans power outages Saturday

Correction: An earlier version of this story had the day of the outages incorrect.

Duke Energy is warning about power outages Saturday for some area customers while the company trims trees in our area.

The company will be trimming in the area of Reeveston Drive starting at about 9 a.m. and lasting until noon and Fox Pointe Drive starting at about 1 p.m. and lasting until 3:30 p.m.

The company says that it will be trimming trees and vegetation away from powerlines.

The company will be working as quickly as possible due to the cold temperatures and the inconvenience for customers, says Chip Orben, spokesman for the power company.

The company plans to also alert customers tomorrow by phone before the outages.
