1. A system for use in correcting an intermittent utility service outage, said system comprising:
- a memory device configured to store a plurality of service interruptions, wherein each service interruption is associated with at least one site of a plurality of sites;
a processor coupled to said memory device and programmed to determine an interruption occurrence rate corresponding to a first site of the plurality of sites based on service interruptions associated with the first site; and
a communication interface coupled to said processor and configured to transmit an intermittent outage notification to a remote device when the determined interruption occurrence rate exceeds a predetermined maximum interruption occurrence rate.

Abstract
Systems and methods for use in identifying and correcting intermittent utility service outages. Service interruptions associated with a site are identified. An interruption occurrence rate corresponding to the site is determined based at least in part on the identified service interruptions. An intermittent outage notification is transmitted to a remote device when the determined interruption occurrence rate exceeds a predetermined maximum interruption occurrence rate.

8. A method for use in correcting an intermittent utility service outage, said method comprising:
-
identifying, by a computing device, a plurality of service interruptions associated with a site and with a duration that is longer than a predetermined minimum interruption duration; determining, by the computing device, an interruption occurrence rate corresponding to the site based at least in part on the identified service interruptions; and transmitting an intermittent outage notification from the computing device to a remote device when the determined interruption occurrence rate exceeds a predetermined maximum interruption occurrence rate. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:
-
identify a plurality of service interruptions associated with a site and with a duration that is longer than a predetermined minimum interruption duration; determine an interruption occurrence rate corresponding to the site based at least in part on the identified service interruptions; and create an intermittent outage work order associated with the site when the determined interruption occurrence rate exceeds a predetermined maximum interruption occurrence rate. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
