MILFORD, Del. – The City of Milford has announced a planned power outage on Saturday, October 25, from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., an 8-hour duration, to complete necessary upgrades to the city’s electric infrastructure.
The outage will affect the West Shores Development, BayHealth PAM Rehabilitation Center, Windward Grove Development (formerly Wickersham), Nemours Children’s Health Facility, and the Southeast Water Tower area. Residents are advised to take precautions to protect food, medical needs, and household electronics. Refrigerators and freezers should remain closed as much as possible, and coolers with ice can be used for items that may be needed during the outage. Residents who rely on electrically powered medical devices should arrange for backup power or alternative accommodations and consult their healthcare provider if necessary. General preparations include charging devices the night before, having flashlights and extra batteries on hand, preparing meals that do not require refrigeration or heating, and checking the functionality of home security systems. Candles should be avoided for safety. The City of Milford said that if weather or safety concerns require rescheduling, affected residents will be notified in advance.
