SUMMERDALE, Ala. – In a press release issued just after 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Baldwin EMC announced that offices are now open for business.

   “The phones were manned through the night and now we are able to open our doors again to serve our members,” according to the release.

   “Our crews are continuing to work around the clock restoring outages as they occur,” it was stated in the release. “Restoration has been slower than normal due to the hazardous road conditions they are encountering. Fortunately, outages have been minimal.”
