CHICKAMAUGA — Chickamauga power customers will be impacted by upcoming substation repairs that TVA will be conducting.

TVA will be conducting emergency repairs on the substation this weekend due to weather-related damage from last week.

They say the work is scheduled for Saturday night at 11:00 p.m. through approximately 4:00 a.m. Sunday morning (Estimated 4 to 5 hours).

Chickamauga power customers will experience disruption of electric service and they are recommending:

• Charging phones, flash lights and other devices beforehand
• Preparing for possible brief outages

They  say this nighttime window was intentionally chosen to minimize impact during high heat and peak customer usage, as well as to reduce effects on water and sewer service.
