Otter Tail Power Company gives Sunday afternoon update on restoring power to numerous cities

6/22 | 2:00 p.m. Update:

Bemidji area: We have 55 lineworkers in Bemidji. Crews energized a few thousand customers this morning and they keep making safe and efficient progress. Additional materials and equipment needed for continued restoration will arrive throughout the day. Crews will be working hard toward full restoration over the next few days.

Fergus Falls area: Restoration from the initial storm is complete. We had additional weather roll through this morning causing new outages. Crews are on it; we do not have an estimated time of restoration yet.

Garrison/Rugby areas: Restoration is complete. If you are in this area and still without power, please contact your local electrician. This is likely an electrical issue specific to your home or business as a result of the storm.

Jamestown area: Approximately 2,500 of our customers are still without power in the northwest part of Jamestown. We expect to have the north feeder repaired around 8:00 tonight. The main northwest feeder repairs will start today but may not be complete until Monday. Crews will continue to isolate damaged areas and restore power to customers when possible. We are still experiencing nested outages in the south part of town. Crews will work on those once the main feeders are repaired. We hope to have Eldridge and Medina restored around 8:00 this evening. Crews are in the Page area now, where we have extensive damage and anticipate

full restoration in a couple of days.

Wahpeton area: Crews anticipate restoration will continue in the Sheldon area into Monday evening.
