"We have deployed additional Lines and Forestry staff from adjacent locations into the Essex area," said Myles D’Arcey, Senior Vice-President, Customer Operations. "Our crews are working tirelessly to clean up the downed trees and repair the broken lines and poles so that the local community can get back to business as soon as possible."
About 150 Hydro One staff are working on the restoration effort including 80 lines maintainers, 30 damage assessors and 20 foresters. Approximately 70 poles and a significant number of wires are broken or damaged and need to be replaced. It is expected most customers will have power restored later tonight, although some customers may be without power until Tuesday afternoon.
