Clarksville, TN – CDE Lightband crews pushed through the night to further the restoration process. The number of customers without power is now below 5,000. As they work to repair the damage, power continues to be restored throughout the system.
Crews continue to work through the night focusing on repairing broken poles and downed wire.
Most of these are highly damaged situations located in multiple places along the system. Due to this, time estimates are impossible to give. Know that CDE is working around the clock with added extra teams to aid in the process, totaling 28 crews working together 24/7.
CDE wants to thank you for your continued showing of support and patience as we all work through this storm restoration together.
