In early August, residents in Harker Heights will see Oncor crews moving deliberately through neighborhoods and along familiar corridors, part of a three‑day effort to strengthen the city’s electrical backbone. From Tuesday, August 4, through Thursday, August 6, Oncor will conduct infrastructure improvements designed to enhance long‑term reliability—work that requires planned power outages each day between approximately 6:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
While the outage window spans several hours, not every customer will be without power for the full duration. Crews will move through the system in phases, targeting specific segments as upgrades are completed.
A Closer Look at Wednesday’s Impact
The most focused disruption is expected on Wednesday, August 5, when a small area on the east side of Harker Heights will temporarily lose service. The affected zone stretches along Interstate 14 and Old Nolanville Road, touching portions from Plaza Court to Robinson Road and Stonewall Ridge. Despite the proximity to key infrastructure, the City’s water treatment facility will remain fully operational, ensuring no interruption to water service.
Keeping Residents Informed
Oncor has been proactive in notifying customers—using door tags, social media, and My Oncor Alerts—and encourages residents to stay connected by texting REG to 66267 or visiting oncor.com/myoa for real‑time outage and service updates.
Safety First in Work Zones
With crews and contractors working in visible areas throughout the city, residents are urged to slow down near work zones and give workers ample space to operate safely. These improvements, though temporarily inconvenient, are part of a broader commitment to maintaining a resilient electrical grid.
Community Patience Appreciated
Both Oncor and the City of Harker Heights express gratitude for the community’s patience as these upgrades move forward. The work represents a long‑term investment in reliability—one that will help ensure homes, businesses, and essential services remain powered through the seasons ahead.
