Our Public Works crews have been hard at work clearing snow from local roads. Some still have slick spots, and we expect wet surfaces to refreeze again overnight.

Many of our services return to normal tomorrow, while some will be on a delayed schedule.

Some Duke Energy customers are receiving fraudulent text messages that appear to be from them, claiming customers will be impacted by a scheduled power outage. The messages did not come from Duke Energy.
