MLGW crews prepare for severe weather
December 28, 2021
(December 29, 2021) – Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division is prepared for severe weather as showers and thunderstorms move into the area. We are anticipating damaging winds and heavy rainfall; there is also a secondary risk of brief tornadoes and hail.
MLGW crews and additional contract crews are ready to respond to any local damage or outages, however; restoration times may be extended due to COVID-19 safety measures.
Customers should avoid contact with downed power lines—even if their home or area has experienced a loss of power as the lines could still be energized.
To report an emergency such as downed wires or gas leaks, please call (901) 528-4465. This number should be treated like 911 and only used for these emergencies.
Important MLGW contact information for customers:
· Outage Reporting: (901) 544-6500
· Emergency: (901) 528-4465
· Customer Care Center: (901) 544-MLGW (6549)
