On Thursday, 9/4/25 an accident involving a tractor trailer impacted our Leeper substation. Our linemen and operations personnel responded immediately. Members on our Leeper substation were without power for approximately 3 hours as United began routing power from our Sigel substation for these members. This backfeed will be in place until repairs can be made and we urge you to call in an outage if one should occur 800-262-8959. Damage assessment and rebuilding will take time and United Electric thanks you for your continued patience.
