LUB crews and tree trimming crews on stand-by

‘We’ve prepared as much as we can and will work as quickly as we can’- Regina Kennedy, LUB GM

LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF)- Crews with La Follette Utilities Board (LUB) and the crews with LUB’s local tree trimming contractor are on stand-by should their skills be needed if Sunday’s predicted winter storm hits. Freezing rain and ice are in Sunday’s weather forecast along with below freezing temperatures.

“We’ve prepared as much as we can, and we will work as quickly as we can when called upon,” said Regina Kennedy.

The staff at LUB will be manning the telephones taking your calls on reports of power outages, downed trees and the like. “We want our customers to know that sometimes the phone system gets overloaded, and we cannot get to calls sometimes. However, please be patient, and we will get to your calls,” said Kennedy.

LUB customers can report outages online, and they can also use the LUB app. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-01/04/2025-5PM)
