(September 22, 2008)--Entergy Texas Monday revised its prediction of when it expects to have service restored to the hardest-hit areas of the state.
The company now says it expects to complete restoration of service to those areas by Sunday, a week earlier than previous forecasts.
Joe Domino, the president and chief executive officer of the Beaumont-based subsidiary of Entergy Corp, said he expected power to be back on later Monday or Tuesday to customers able to receive it in Winnie and Anahuac.
He said the company expects to restore power to its service area west of the Trinity River by Wednesday and to areas east of the Trinity by Sunday.
Not included in the forecasts are High Island and the Bolivar Peninsula, where the electric transmission infrastructure will have to be rebuilt.
Entergy Texas serves most of Southeast Texas east of the Trinity River, as well as an area from Navasota to Conroe and Cleveland.
