During outages, Okanogan PUD prioritizes restoration by responding to areas where the largest numbers of customers can be restored at once. When possible, the PUD works to restore power to essential services as quickly as possible.

The PUD cannot guarantee uninterrupted utility services. Power outages may occur at any time, with or without notice. The PUD encourages you to have a power outage preparedness plan such as proactively installing an emergency standby power supply to operate your medical equipment, obtaining backup equipment, or arranging emergency assistance with friends or family.

If you are considering adding a standby generator, please call the PUD at (509) 422-3310 for instructions on proper connection procedures.
