Here in Wilderness Rim, the power is serviced by Puget Sound Energy.  PSE customers can now get a mobile reporting app to keep tabs on power outages.  According to a PSE media release, the app is available for most web-enabled smartphones and tablets. It can be used 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Even if the electricity is out at a customer’s home or business, they can still access the app to get the information they need.PowerLines
Key features of the app include:

  • Report power outages to PSE
  • View a map of outages
  • Get estimated restoration times
  • See the number of customers affected in neighborhoods
  • Report natural gas emergencies

 

PSE customers can download the new app to their Apple iOS, Android and Windows smartphones and tablets from the various app stores. Search for “Puget Sound Energy” or “myPSE.” The easiest way to report an outage is to use the app. To do that, customers use their myPSE account information to log in; they can also quickly set up their account on the app if they need to.  Outage reports can also be made at PSE.com or by calling 1-888-225-5773.
