Oncor makes reasonable provisions to provide steady and continuous service in its service areas, but does not guarantee uninterrupted service. Circumstances beyond Oncor’s control include, but are not limited to: weather, wildlife, fire, voltage fluctuations, partial power and third party damage which may result in interruptions of service. In addition, there may be laws, statutes, tariffs, or regulations that limit the liability of Oncor for certain types of damages.
