Thank you
@HydroOne
for the amazing job at getting all the M class (sub-transmission) feeders online, quickly, safely and in very challenging environment. Many of these feeders long are in remote areas, through forest and marsh. Awesome team we are lucky to work with!
Outages have been primarily caused by heavy snow sticking to tree branches. The weight is causing trees to bend, break and come out of the ground. We trim trees to meet or exceed
@homeandsafety
utility standard. Homeowners regularly push back and don’t want their trees trimmed
Crews worked throughout the night, changing poles and removing trees from wires. Stephan's Bay road still has 41 customers without power, on shortly. 21 customers on St.Elmos and View Point Trail will be a few more hours, Beaumont has 6 customers off, restoration later today

Our thoughts are with Hydro One family who lost a team member on the job today. It is a reminder of how precious life is and the dangers our hydro teams work in to keep the lights on for us all.
