Officials at Central Electric Cooperative say Monday’s plan is to get power restored to the areas that are seeing the largest outages.
“The game plan is just to continue to try to restore out largest amount of customers that are out,” Central Electric Spokesman Ken Maleski.
In Butler County, those areas include Summit Township, Clearfield, West Middlesex in the Saxonburg area, Slippery Rock, Harrisville and Muddy Creek Township.
“Those are some areas that we’re going to be concentrating on heavily,” Maleski said.
Because of the severity of the damage, power might not come back on for some people until Wednesday. But, Maleski hopes most CEC customers will have restoration before then.
“That could be people in the outer fringes on the end of a tap,” he said. “We’re trying to concentrate on the main areas of our lines where the most people are out.”
Maleski says help has come in from all over to help restore power locally.
“We have 10 outside additional crews besides the crews that are here,” he said.
Across the region, Central Electric still had about 24 percent of all their customers without power on Monday. In Butler County, there are still more than 3,300 outages.
