Power On, Power Off
by Jenny Chissus
Living in Seldovia, across the bay – over 17 miles from Homer by water or air – you would be amazed at the amount of comfort we enjoy in this quaint community off the road system!
We have HEA (Homer Electric) who provides the city and surrounding areas with electricity, within the city limits we have city water and sewer (Thank you Seldovia City!) and ACS provides great cell service, land lines and internet (some of the highest DSL on the peninsula – you can subscribe to over 7mbps) and I know GCI serves some folks here for cell phone service as well as SpitwSpots for internet. We are totally connected! Living, truly in the lap of luxury in the wilderness of Alaska!!
However, Sunday, we had many brown-outs until the lights flickered off for the last time! Snow was coming down, and the snow loads were heavy in multiple locations, causing problems in the line somewhere, causing our power to shut down. Fortunately for Seldovia, we have a generation plant that has the capability to power our city and out the road to Jakolof during times like these! So, we were back on line – but around 8pm the power went off in a more permanent fashion, as the generation plant lost power due to a faulty main breaker. So now our backup was inoperable!

Snow Day, No School
UPDATE: Cell service is also down, awaiting restoration of power by ACS!
No school today, as the power is out, we have officially been granted a Snow Day! First one that I can remember here in Seldovia! Enloy the quiet morning! Forgive my post as I’m uploading this with my iPhone, so the formatting may be strange!
