Customer Notification System Coming in 2020
To improve operating efficiency and customer communication, RMLD is in the process of installing a new Outage Management System (OMS) and Customer Notification System. Once implemented, customers will be able to get real time information on power outages at RMLD.com, as well as sign up to receive phone, text, and/or email alerts when a power outage affects their home or business. These systems are expected to be rolled out in 2020. Customers will be invited to opt-in for alerts prior to the system's launch.
