What is the process to restore a customer after a gas outage?
In order to safely restore gas service to our customers, our crews first have to shut off service to ALL affected homes and businesses, one-by-one, at each gas meter. After repairs to the affected line are completed, these crews will then re-pressurize the main gas lines.
Once that has happened, our crews will return to each of the homes and businesses to turn the service back on, relight the pilot lights, and ensure the customer’s service is working properly.

Tree debris/removal during storm restoration
If a tree lands on a power line during a storm, causing the lines to sag and/or break from the pole, LG&E and KU will remove the trees from the line and restring the lines. The removal of the tree debris such as branches and large limbs is the responsibility of the homeowner. Crews will not be able haul away debris or use wood chippers as this could slow down restoration efforts.
