LUS launches power outage and events map KATC and last updated 2021-06-23 18:09:22-04 Lafayette Utilities System (LUS) has launched a power outage and events map in preparation for hurricane season and year-round operations. The LUS Outage & Events Map, created in partnership with DataCapable, will allow customers to stay up to date during emergency and non-emergency situations. Customers will be able to subscribe by email and SMS/text-based status alerts to events in their area. To view the map, go to lus.org/map. Customers will still need to call LUS to report issues, as this is a first phase implementation. LUS is working towards a fully automated process.
