Well, once again, this evening saw a fairly familiar site at The Waters. Those houses serviced by Alabama Power lost power while many serviced by Dixie Electric did not.
Oh sure, sometimes this is unavoidable (like when a vehicle recently lost control and hit an AP transformer that serviced AP's customers at The Waters). But still, during our two years at The Waters (we were the second residents to move in), we have lost electricity much more frequently with Alabama Power than when we lived at Deer Creek and received our juice from Dixie Electric.
Interestingly, because of some strange quirk (undoubtedly driven by an equally strange or arcane regulation), some blocks at The Waters are split between AP and Dixie.
Meaning that, when the lights go out in The Waters at Waugh, all of us Alabama Power customers (a term that only fits us in the loosest sense of the word), can simply walk to the nearest Dixie Electric house only yards away for good ole' fashion electric reliability.
Shocking, eh?
