Iroquois County EMA has received this information from Ameren: A scheduled power outage coming next week. Ameren crews are planning on having a necessary outage in Gilman to facilitate local system maintenance. There will be approximately 610 customers without electricity from:

9:00 p.m. Monday, March 9th

Until the following day-

Tuesday morning around 5 a.m. on March 10th

With it being a scheduled outage, affected customers should be getting an automated call from Ameren.

Iroquois County EMA recommends Individuals with medical devices that are dependent on electricity should be making alternate plans now. These plans should be occasionally tested to be sure the same capabilities exist in an emergency situation. This would be a good time to practice those capabilities.
