CENTRAL - Imagine losing your electricity a dozen times so far this year. It's reality for one neighborhood in Central, where they're always prepared to be in the dark.

"Last week alone we lost power three times," said Teresa Golden.

It's an ongoing problem in Morgan Place West where about 200 homes lose power no matter the weather.

"It could be crystal clear sun, no wind, no rain, and the power goes out," said Chris Matloz.

The lights go out so often, Golden plans her grocery shopping around the weather.

"This happened to me twice, I've gone grocery shopping, fill my refrigerator with meat from Oak Point and the power goes out," she said.

Instead of packing up and putting away generators, homeowners have them ready to use. Antoinette Lee is a fifth grader at Central Intermediate School and says the outages disrupt her homework.

"It just gets very aggravating and frustrating," said Lee.

Entergy responded to WBRZ's request for comment about the frequent outages in Morgan Place West. The power company says it's aware of the recent outages impacting the subdivision and apologizes for the inconveniences associated with the disruptions. Entergy recently performed a walkdown inspection of the area and made repairs, including equipment replacement and vegetation trimming, but says additional maintenance work will be needed.

To perform the additional maintenance, service will be interrupted for brief periods. Prior to the planned interruptions, Entergy says it will notify customers via the HOA. To stay informed, ensure your contact information is up to date by visiting myEntergy.com.
