Northwestern Energy is hoping to have power restored to Alpena by the end of the work day this afternoon. Tom Glanzer says crews are making progress with the much improved weather….
Overnight last night 227 people were without power from the icing on power lines…
Glanzer says a mere 75 feet is what prevented crews from restoring power sooner..
Glanzer says when the line between Alpena and Woonsocket is restored the power should return immediately, unless individual service lines to structures are disrupted. 180 people in the Alpena and Woonsocket areas have been affect by the outage. If you experience a power outage you can call Northwestern Energy at 1-800-245-6977
