City of Dover electric outage contacts and notices

Phone numbers for reporting a power outage and for customer service, any outage map or status link, and possible posted outage notices, read from City of Dover electric department web pages, with the page address and the time we fetched it.

You can share this data.

Only the extracted facts may be redistributed: phone numbers, option numbers, link addresses, page addresses, and fetch times. The page copies kept in R2 and the notice text stored for review are the city's wording and are for internal review only, never for the open API. A map or status site found through a link may have its own terms; record those before polling or republishing it. The city site terms were not checked (the site was unreachable when this was written). Please credit it with the line below.
