Sunny Skies and Power Outages: A Day in Cayce
Good day, Cayce! As you look out your window this morning, you may notice the beautiful, mostly sunny skies stretching across our town. With temperatures expected to reach around 85°F, it’s the perfect weather to enjoy some time outdoors, if it weren’t for the unexpected circumstances affecting our lovely community.
Unfortunately, the City of Cayce has announced that their offices will be closed today due to ongoing power outages. So, if you were hoping to visit City Hall or any other municipal office, you might want to hold off for now. The city officials are doing their best to resolve the issues quickly, and we appreciate your patience as they navigate through this situation.

As a friendly reminder, Cayce’s officials ask that residents stay off the roads if you can. Safety is key right now, and keeping traffic to a minimum will allow emergency services to work more effectively. Good news, though—our Parks team along with the Cayce Police and Fire departments are out in the field, working diligently to ensure everyone’s safety. If you spot any downed trees or hazards, make sure to report them. Your observations can greatly help in maintaining our community during this time.
