Quick rising water on June 7th took the downtown area by surprise.  As the Hawcreek surged through the area at a fast pace, much devastation was left behind.  The completely flooded basement at the REMC office at 801 Second St. rendered the building inoperable.  All electronic infrastructure was lost to the building including phone, internet and network communications.
 

The administrative office of REMC has relocated to 1502 Southpark Court in the Central Communications building at the corner of South Gladstone Avenue and Marr Road.  See Map.  You may pay your bill in person at this location or pay over the phone by calling 372-2546.  You may also deposit your payment at the night drop box located at the drive through window at 801 Second St.  Envelopes are provided there to put your payment in.


The Operations Department was not affected by the flood. Line crews will continue to be dispatched from the 801 Second Street Garage.


Thankfully all system back up tapes were restored and no payment or member information was lost.
