Press release from the Village of Whitefish Bay: August 13, 2021 Crews continue to make significant progress on the damage and destruction caused by the wild weather earlier this week. Thanks to the hard work of our dedicated crews, we are on track to restore 98% of all customers impacted by Tuesday's storms by midnight tonight. We also are on track for tomorrow's goal — that by noon Saturday, we will have restored, or crews will be working on, all customers capable of receiving service who were impacted by the storm's high winds, lightning and toppled trees. Almost 1,000 people are taking part in the restoration effort. All major lines have been restored, and we are now restoring power single customer by single customer. This is the largest mass restoration effort in our history. We understand it is frustrating to be without power, and we thank you for your continued patience and support as we work safely and as quickly as possible to restore service.
