Hi everyone,
Our neighborhood has been known for having random power outages in good
weather. Yesterday's power outage affected approximately 2,500 Georgia
Power customers.
Since March 2016, we've had approximately 150 power abnormalities/blips,
but perhaps 5 of those resulted in a power outage lasting 30 minutes or
longer. Yesterday's two hour power outage was unusually long. An event
like that one happens around once every five years.
You might wonder what happens to the gates during a power outage. Do
they have a backup battery? No, that's an extra option that costs
several thousand dollars. Consider it a "nice to have" feature. A
previous Board explored that option, but found it too expensive.
I did notice that FedEx was able to get into the complex during the
outage. This leads me to believe that the front gate was open or
eventually opened, but I'm not sure.
I did need to travel during yesterday's power outage. The initial ETA
for restoration was 8:15PM, so I rearranged my plans. If I couldn't
have rearranged my plans and if the gates were closed, then I would have
used a ride sharing service. In this case, I would have had to pay $10
round trip, but that's cheaper than paying increased HOA dues for a
backup battery for the gate.
Thanks,
Alex
