What short-outage Newnan Wtr, Sewer & Light Comm filings show
Newnan Wtr, Sewer & Light Comm is a municipally-owned utility operating in Georgia under EIA identifier 13547. It reports service to approximately 10,830 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 1 ZIP code. Municipal ownership means a local board or city council typically oversees this utility, and it is exempt from federal income tax.
In 2023, the average Newnan Wtr, Sewer & Light Comm customer experienced 22.1 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 0.70 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 22.1 minutes; the difference from the headline 22.1 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Newnan Wtr, Sewer & Light Comm, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 93.8 down to 22.1 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
Based on this utility's own EIA Form 861 reliability record -- baseline (major-event- excluded) outage duration, total outage duration, and outage frequency -- each benchmarked against every reporting utility nationwide. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.
