Restoration Details: | Bangor Hydro crews are working in challenging conditions today. Slick roads and diminished visibility are slowing their ability to safety repair damage caused by today's blizzard. Damage is reported to be extensive and given these conditions it will take some time to make the repairs. Customers are asked to be patient, avoid approaching working crews and use caution if in areas where they're working. Coastal areas are the hardest hit today, but all areas of Bangor Hydro service territory are affected by today's storm.Fallen power lines and tree limbs will be a problem today and it may be difficult to see them in the snow. Customers should use caution to ensure they are not coming in contact with power lines and trees touching them. | |
