Restoration Plan for March 2, 2019
March 02, 2019
As of 8 a.m. Saturday morning, there are just under 2,000 customers who remain without power. This includes a little over 200 in the Eugene area, and about 1,700 in the Mckenzie River Valley.
Most of the remaining Eugene-area outages are single homes, which can be extremely labor intensive, particulalry those with accessibility issues, such as backyard service lines with no access for bucket trucks. We will continue to work until every customer is restored.
We have 13 line crews working in the following areas. While we do not have current estimated times of restoration, be assured crews are working diligently to get your power back on.
