July 5th, 2025—Kerrville Public Utility Board (KPUB) continues to make significant progress in restoring power in the wake of the catastrophic flooding that devastated the Hill Country region.
As of this afternoon, KPUB has restored power to the vast majority of customers in Center Point and the North Fork area of Hunt. Approximately 400 customers remain without power. The most significant remaining outages are concentrated between Ingram and Hunt and south of Highway 39, and along the South Fork of the Guadalupe in Hunt.
The South Fork area sustained some of the most extensive damage, including approximately 40 downed power poles, widespread tree and flood debris, and heavily damaged infrastructure.
KPUB issued a mutual aid request on July 4 after assessing the widespread damage to assist with restoration efforts. We now have 50 additional personnel from utilities across Texas assisting our teams in the field. Our heartfelt thanks go to those who answered our call for help, including crews and contractors from Floresville Electric Light and Power System, Georgetown Utility Systems, Bryan Texas Utilities, Central Texas Electric Cooperative and the City of Fredericksburg.
Restoration for customers in the remaining West Kerr areas will be lengthy and complex—even with mutual aid support—due to the extensive damage and ongoing challenges caused by the flooding. KPUB urges customers in these remaining areas to prepare for multi-day outages as crews continue working to safely to rebuild infrastructure and restore power as quickly as possible.
KPUB reminds any customers still experiencing outages outside of these remaining areas in West Kerr County to report them by calling our 24-hour outage line at 855.959.2496.
“This has been an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking time for our Hill Country community,” said Mike Wittler, KPUB General Manager and CEO. “We are very grateful for our mutual aid network and the support we have here from across Texas. Our hearts are with all those impacted by the flooding, and we remain committed to restoring power to our remaining customers as quickly and safely as possible.”
