Throughout the region, CEI currently has 22,222 customers without power. This is down from 61,000 last evening, and down from 27,000 around 11:00AM.
Additional hazards and broken poles, along with a lot of tree damage, have been identified.
All crews continue to work 16 hours on with 8 hours rest. You may see vehicles from Ohio Edison, Penelec, Penn Power and various contractors working throughout the area. Crews work to restore critical facilities (911 / hospitals / police / fire / etc) then focus attention on outages impacting the largest number of customers. These crews are working as quickly as safe work practices allow.
Complete restoration is anticipated by 4:00pm Monday. Estimates provided on First Energy’s website for restoration reflect this time, though many customers will be restored sooner. If your whole street / block / neighborhood has an outage, you’ll probably have power restored sooner than if your house is the only one on your street without power.
Please treat all downed wires as live and dangerous.
If you have not already reported your outage to First Energy, please do so now. Call 888-544-4877 or log in at https://www.
We appreciate your patience as FirstEnergy continues to clear hazard orders and work to restore power as safely as possible.
Sincerely,
Mayor Dylan Brennan
