West Penn Power crews are busy working to restore power to thousands of customers throughout Washington County. As of late Friday, West Penn was reporting more than 45-hundred customers without service. Most of these outages remain in the hardest hit areas of Washington County, including Smith Township; Cecil; Cross Creek; Independence and Mt. Pleasant Townships. West Penn Power Spokesman Todd Meyers says restoration is definitely a multi-day event and they’ve called in extra help. He says around two-thousand utility workers have been called in from other states to help in getting the power back on. Meyers is urging people to stay away from any downed power lines and if any are found, call 911. West Penn says they are hoping to have everyone back online by late Sunday.
