July 4th, 2025—The Kerrville Public Utility Board (KPUB) is actively responding to widespread power outages affecting approximately 2,646 customers throughout its service territory, as of 9:30 a.m. Impacted areas include Southeast Kerrville, Center Point, and Hunt.
KPUB crews are currently restoring power in accessible areas, but some locations remain unreachable due to active flooding and hazardous road conditions. The Hunt Substation is flooded, though it remains inaccessible for a full damage assessment at this time.
Additionally, KPUB believes that power lines crossing the rivers near Riverhill and Center Point are down. These are flooded areas currently, presenting significant challenges to restoration efforts. Access to these river crossings is unsafe, and damage assessments are ongoing as conditions allow. Power lines are also confirmed to be down along Highway 173.
“Our crews are working as quickly and safely as possible under extremely challenging weather and access conditions,” said Allison Bueche, KPUB Director of Customer and Community Relations. “Power restoration efforts are underway where crews can safely reach, and will begin in inaccessible areas as soon as they become reachable. We understand the impact these outages have and are committed to restoring power as quickly as conditions allow.”
