Lakeland Electric Final Update

​Day Seven - System Restored

Lakeland Electric has restored its system following Hurricane Milton. Power has been reinstated for customers who can safely receive service.
As clean-up efforts continue, hazards such as hanging tree limbs remain, which could cause short-term outages. Customers will continue to see numerous crews in the area reconnecting service to customers whose damaged property or electrical equipment has been repaired.

Customers with damaged electrical equipment or those dealing with flooding may be unable to safely receive power until the floodwaters recede or their equipment undergoes assessment and repair by a qualified electrician. Once the property owner has made repairs, customers should contact (863) 834-9535 to have power safely reconnected.

Lakeland Electric would like to express its deepest gratitude to the over 500 mutual aid personnel from Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Alabama, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and Florida who assisted in the power restoration effort. Additionally, it extends its thanks to the men and women at Lakeland Electric who have worked tirelessly to serve their community during this emergency.
