6:30 am Update: Power was restored to all members overnight. Thank you all for your patience while we worked! ——- ❗️ 11:30 pm Outage Update: Crews are making great progress through the night, bringing the total number of members affected down to about 600. However, there are still 30 individual outage incidents that need repaired throughout the territory. This means potentially 30 individual locations for crews to visit, each having its own hazards to face, trees to be cleared, and/or poles and lines to be replaced. From the damage surveyed so far, Dover appears to be especially hard hit, with numerous downed trees and areas with torn down electric lines. Portland is also an area of concern. We are working as quickly as we can and we hate to leave any member without power for an extended amount of time, but major repairs in hard-hit areas like this will take time to fix. We will continue to share new updates as we receive them from our crews in the field, and we will keep working through the night to restore service to the affected members. —— 8:30 pm Outage Update: We currently have 66 individual outage incidents with just under 1,000 members out of service. The majority of the affected members are in the Dover and Portland areas. We will keep working until service for all members is restored. (fb)
