March 18, 1:00PM: As a result of this past weekend's severe weather
event, 263,000 customers lost power. As of 1 PM, all multiple customer storm
related outages have been restored with only 39 single customer storm
related outages remaining. All of these outages are currently being worked
by crews and are expected to be restored today. Over the coming days and
weeks, customers will continue to see utility personnel in the field, making
permanent repairs and completing detailed surveys to ensure that any
remaining sub-standard conditions are addressed and the system is returned
to its normal condition. In instances where LIPA has left notification that
temporary repairs were made to restore service at their home, homeowners are
reminded that they must contact an electrician to make final permanent
repair
To report a new outage please call 1-800-490-0075.
