from KWBJ news:
As of Wednesday morning, June 27, the power outage continues throughout Morgan City. Louisiana Energy and Power Authority and City crews worked through the night on restoring generation capabilities at the Joseph Cefalu Steam Plant. As of 6:00 AM, the assessment of the Plant's damages from yesterday's explosion are more extensive than the initial evaluation. The Unit #3 that was expected and needed to give emergency power to start up the larger Unit #4 has failed. It was running yesterday at the time of the explosion. Therefore, the new estimate for power being restored in Morgan City is late afternoon today. As soon as a minimal load is secured, City crews will begin testing circuits. At that time, you can expect that if your power comes on briefly and drops again, this is the testing of your circuit before all power is restored. Do not call the City to report that outage again.
Along with that, City crews have supplied generator power to the sewer lift stations within the City to keep sewer services flowing.
The City continues to request that residence minimize water consumption that flows into your sewer connections (toilets, bath tubs, sinks, etc.). This has no impact on your drinking water.
