Residents in the Harmony Subdivision in Spring are fed up with CenterPoint Energy and what they call daily power outages and surges.
Jermey Butler has lived in the area for about four years. He told KPRC the problem seems to be getting worse and worse and is forcing some homeowners to spend hundreds, sometimes thousands on repairs to items damaged by the interruptions in service.
Butler said CenterPoint Energy has also refused to reimburse residents for the items that have been damaged.“Some of the ways we’ve tried to mitigate and prevent our losses, right here. We’ve had electricians came out and install these surge protectors,” Over the past several weeks, CenterPoint Energy has been working in Spring-area communities to address service interruptions. The majority of these interruptions have been caused by vegetation-related issues, such as tree branches coming into contact with our power lines.
In addition to this work, we have performed system inspections, resulting in additional required repairs. The completion of these repairs has been impacted by the extreme heat and increased usage on our system. Yesterday, our crews responded to outages in the Spring area resulting from equipment issues. Our crews were able to quickly identify the needed repairs and worked to minimize the customers impacted to safely restore service.
