Vectren Adds Texting Option For Reporting Power Outages

Headed into storm season, Vectren is launching a new feature that allows customers to report their power outage by texting the word OUT to 83212. Customers can easily save this number to their phone contacts to ensure quick reporting by visiting www.vectren.com/text from a smartphone to access and save the contact information.

If the mobile phone number being used to report the outage is already associated with the customer’s account, it will prompt the user to choose the address on file or report for a different location. If the phone number is not recognized by Vectren, customers will be prompted to provide the phone number associated with the account in Vectren’s billing system, which is likely a landline phone number, or they can enter the property address or Vectren account number.

“Enhancing our customer’s experience by providing another option to report a power outage via smartphone was a top priority given the number of customers who own these devices and utilize them for similar tasks,” said Brad Ellsworth, president of Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana-South. “Outage texting makes reporting even easier and provides customers with an additional self-service option, so we are urging customers to ensure we have their mobile number on file for a more streamlined reporting process”

Customers who want to provide Vectren their mobile number to ensure its on file can do so by creating and/or logging in to their Vectren.com online account and selecting the My Profile tab, or they may use the Live Chat feature on Vectren.com.

In addition to the new text feature, customers can still report their power outages on a smartphone via Vectren’s website and mobile application. Customers are also encouraged to follow @VectrenStorm on Twitter for real-time outage updates.

This addition is one of several enhancements planned to improve the customer experience as part of Vectren’s Smart Energy Future plan announced in February. For more information on Vectren’s efforts, please go to www.vectren.com/smartenergyfuture.

 Event was final of the regular season

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – In her regular-season finale as a member of the University of Evansville women’s golf team, senior Kayla Katterhenry took top honors at the Indiana State Spring Invitational at the Country Club of Terre Haute on Monday.

Katterhenry shot a 2-under 70 in Monday’s final round to finish with a score of 145, four ahead of her nearest competition.  The victory came in a competitive field that featured four other Missouri Valley Conference programs.  It is also a nice finish to the spring regular season slate as the conference championship is up next from Sunday through next Tuesday.

Second on the squad was Maggie Camp.  She made a nice jump from her opening round tally, improving by eight strokes.  After notching an 82 on Sunday, Camp carded a 74 on Monday to tally a 156 for the event, tying for 13th.

Next up was Giulia Mallmann.  Her final-round score of 85 gave her a score of 165, tying her for 43rd.  Madison Chaney was two behind Mallmann, finishing with a 167.  She carded an 86 in the last round.  Maria Pickens saw a 5-stroke improvement in day two, posting an 84 on her way to a 173.

Lexie Sollmann posted a 2-round total of 162 as an individual, coming home in a tie for 33rd.  Her rounds checked in at 82 and 80.  Carly Waggoner was UE’s other individual, posting a 181.

Evansville took 6th place in the tournament with a tally of 631, just three behind 5th-place Drake.  Indiana State took top team honors in a dominating way, registering a 286 in the last round.  It was the only team score in either day to check in under a 307.  They won by eight shots over Western Illinois.

Lambert and Hay earn weekly MVC honors

0

Aces duo led UE to sweep over Drake 

Morgan Lambert and Brittany Hay earned weekly Missouri Valley Conference awards on Monday in an announcement by the league.

Lambert was named the league’s Player of the Week while Hay garnered Newcomer of the Week accolades.

“Morgan had some clutch hits for us this week driving in runs; she has been one of our best hitters over the last three seasons and this is a great honor for her,” UE head coach Mat Mundell said.  “Brittany had one of the best conference offensive series that I have ever seen.  When she goes, our offense goes.”

An amazing week of play saw UE senior Morgan Lambert bat .500, going 9-18 with two home runs, 9 RBI and four runs scored.  She reached base 52.6% of the time while slugging .944.  She got off to a quick start against Austin Peay on Wednesday, going 2-4 with a home run and four RBI.  She also scored two runs in a 10-7 victory.

In the doubleheader finale, she went 1-3.  Lambert went 1-4 in the first game at Drake before registering a perfect 3-3 performance from the plate in game two.  That effort included a double and home run.  On Sunday, she helped the Aces pick up the sweep with a 2-4 offensive day with three RBI, a walk and a run scored.  She notched her second double of the week.

Aces junior Brittany Hay batted .474 as she went 9-19 with a home run, three RBI and four doubles against Austin Peay and Drake.  One of the top run producers in the MVC got the job done once again, scoring nine times over the last week of play.  All of her damage came against the Bulldogs in an unbelievable performance that saw UE pick up the road sweep.  In game one versus the Bulldogs, she went 3-4 with three runs scored and a walk as UE picked up an 8-2 victory.

Hay came right back in game two with a 2-3 day at the plate with three RBI and three runs scored as she belted a home run and a double.  Sunday’s 13-5 win saw Hay erupt for a career-high four hits in five plate appearances.  She crossed the plate three more times.
