FPL's self Imposed deadline for restoration has passed. Do you have power? FPL's 6 AM numbers reveal some outages remain.

The FPL self-imposed deadline has passed.  Is your Palmetto Bay Home and/or business fully restored? I want to thank everyone who has kept me up to date. 

I called an Emergency Special Council Meeting to discuss and take action on post Hurricane Irma issues.  It was during this Monday (9/18/2017) night Emergency Special Council Meeting, that FPL representative Charles Knight indicated that residents in Palmetto Bay will have their power "essentially restored" by the end of the day, September 19, 2017.  For FPL, "essentially restored" means that the company will restore power to all customers except those whose property sustained major flood damage and cannot safely receive power or for properties that sustained physical damage which makes it unsafe for FPL to energize the home.  Such cases are expected to be less than 1% statewide and perhaps a very small number in Palmetto Bay.

NOT FULLY RESTORED?

IMPORTANT:  In the event that, as of the morning of Wednesday, September 20, 2017, you do not yet have your power restored, please contact us via phone at 305-259-1234 or via email to admintemp@palmettobay-fl.gov, and provide us with your address.  We will be in direct contact with FPL to ensure that they are aware that you have no power and that they follow-up with a response as to the reason and estimated restoration date.

FPL has also set up a Command Center at Coral Pine Park in Pinecrest where customer service representatives are available to answer questions, and where ice is being provided to their customers.

As your Mayor, I remain fully committed (along with all our village council members) to making sure everyone in Palmetto Bay is fully restored.

Your Mayor,

Eugene Flinn
