Mr. Cassell,
If you do not receive a door hanger you should not experience an outage. However, as many of us have experienced, sometimes Pepco will encounter a problem during the repair that leads to a broader outage than anticipated. I received the note below from Pepco yesterday but it was too late to beat the cutoff for Scott's last email to the listserv. My guess is that Scott will include this latest update in his email to the listserv today. For safety reasons these updates do not publicize the exact locations of planned outages. FROM PEPCO:
Good Evening,
We wanted to provide a quick update on our activities. As we previously communicated, we continue to utilize advanced technologies to identify additional areas where equipment upgrades may be necessary. The transformer replacement at 1st and Adams St., NW has been scheduled for the evening of November 11th. We will need to de-energize customers to complete the transformer replacement. We anticipate the outage last from 11 p.m. on Tuesday until 7 a.m. Wednesday. Customers impacted by this work will be notified directly with a door hanger and will also receive an automated call.
We have also expanded our project to include an inspection of the fuses on the identified transformers. Beginning on the evening of Monday, November 11th and continuing over the course of three nights, crews will begin the transformer inspections. To accomplish this analysis, crews will need to de-energize customers for approximately 30 minutes. We previously communicated that these outages would last approximately 15 minutes. We still anticipate the outages to last 15 minutes; however, in the event that the inspection takes longer than expected, have extended the outage duration to provide for the additional inspection time.
The transformer inspections will occur at locations throughout Bloomingdale. However, each customer should only be impacted by the outage one time. Customers impacted by the inspections will be notified by door hanger of the date of their 30 minute outage. Please note that crews began distributing the door hangers concerning this work on November 5. Unfortunately, a mistake was made and the door hangers indicated that the outage would last from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. These door hangers have been removed and will be replaced with with the correct information: a 30 minute outage between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. If you have any questions about this, please let me know and I will be glad to follow up.
Finally, we also wanted to share that we have completed the cable replacements at 4th and R St. ,NW and have completed the transformer replacement at Flagler and V St., NW. We have also started the conduit repairs on Feeder 147; the conduit work on Feeder 14200; started the cable injections on Feeder 14004 and 14001; and started the infrastructure relocation project related to DC Water's Northeast Boundary Tunneling project.
If you have any questions, please let us know.

--Thanks for your thoughts --Or would it be best to email Donna @ Pepco -- give my address and ask if any of the work will affect me? I work from home FT and when the power is out -- I have to scamper to another location on quick notice, etc. I'd rather be ready for the next one.Hi all --If Pepco does not put a door hanger on your door -- are you safe from surprise outages that may occur during their work?
Just read the Pepco note that J. Salatti posted on 10/31. It really is a lot to digest and understand the impacts of where the work is being done and what areas to expect outages.
