YORK NEWS EXTRA MEMBER COMFORT UPDATE This month our Member Comfort Update focuses on blinks and outages. Although outage numbers have decreased dramatically in recent years, we want to take your service a step further by investigating outages. Using data analytics to determine the service areas experiencing the most outages and blinks, we are evaluating enhancements to continue decreasing these numbers. Members identified as part of these areas will receive direct communications in the coming months about our improvement plans.
