The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) does not expect widespread electric outages due to excess demand; however, accumulation of ice on power lines could lead to local power outages. GP&L customers can report outages by calling 972-205-3000 or by texting OUT to 972-205-4000. For more information, visit the Outage Center at gpltexas.org/outage-center.

During the duration of the winter weather event, the city of Garland encourages residents to avoid unnecessary travel. To help with necessary travel, the Garland Street Department will have crews operating around the clock to sand bridges and major intersections during freezing weather. If time and resources allow, crews will also sand minor intersections and inclines.
Please continue to monitor the city’s website and social media outlets for information about closures and service updates.
