Service to nearly 3,000 Pacific Power customers in the Grants Pass area was restored on Saturday as efforts continue recover from the recent storm.
An update from Pacific Power said crews continue to make steady progress clearing downed trees and making repairs. Felled trees, blocked roads and hundreds of single outages spread across a wide area have made restoration work challenging. At its peak, more than 18,000 customers were without power following last Thursday’s storm
Dave Lucas, Pacific Power’s vice president of transmission and distribution said the utility is thankful to all of their customers “for their encouragement and understanding” as work continues. He said crews will continue to work around the clock to clear hazards, make repairs and restore service to their customers.
Over 300 Pacific Power and contract personnel are working in the Grants Pass area. At last check, approximately 3,000 customers remain without power.
Customers can report outages at 1-877-508-5088.
