Granville County Emergency Management continues to relay information to residents regarding weather updates. Working with local power companies, information is also being shared regarding power outages, as work continues to restore power to much of the area. Accumulations of ice over the weekend, coupled with heavily saturated ground and the extent of damage reported, have delayed progress as special equipment is being brought in.
Duke Energy reports that repairs continue as crews are working as quickly and safely as possible to restore power outages after the storm. Nearly 800 additional workers have traveled to the region to assist the more than 600 line workers currently working to restore power.
As crews add updates while they are making repairs, estimated restoration times will become more specific by device for the customer, so please check your specific address on the map for the most recent information at www.duke-energy.com/outages.
