Houston – Sept. 28, 2005 (12 p.m. CST) – As of 12 p.m., 40,000 CenterPoint Energy customers remain without power as a result of Hurricane Rita.
CenterPoint Energy realizes customers who are still without power are frustrated that their service has not been restored, and the company is sensitive to their needs. Going forward the remaining repairs will take more time because CenterPoint Energy needs to remove downed trees, set new poles and replace spans of damaged power lines.
