Always remember to call HBPW at 616.355.1500 to report a downed power line outside your home.

Spring and summer months bring warm weather and sometimes, severe weather. Holland Board of Public Works wants to make sure you stay safe during severe weather and storms.

CHECK OUT THE TIPS BELOW:1. Stop and look around before stepping into a

flooded area and be aware that submerged outlet or electrical cords may energize the water, posing a potentially deadly trap.

2. Stay at least 10 feet away from a downed power line and any nearby objects it may be touching.

3. If a downed power line lands on your vehicle or house, stay inside to stay out of the path of stray electrical current.

4. Never attempt to move a downed power line.

5. Never touch a person or object that is in direct or indirect contact with a downed power line; instead call 911 immediately.

Is your power out? Wondering when the outage is going to be restored? If you’re a

Holland Board of Public Works customer, you can visit our new outage map that offers real-time customer outage and restoration information. Visit www.hollandbpw.com/outagemap on your Apple or Android device to reduce wait time on the phone and see when your power will be restored.
