48,000 ComEd customers still without power
CHICAGO – Repair crews have restored power for about 300,000 Commonwealth Edison customers, but the utility still is working to get the lights back on for about 48,000 customers in northern Illinois.
ComEd spokesman Tony Hernandez said most of the remaining outages should be fixed by today but a few customers will remain without service until Thursday.
Hernandez said that’s because repair crews are having to remove the downed trees from Sunday’s storms before repairing the damaged ComEd equipment.
