Toronto Hydro says 1,040 customers throughout Toronto are still without power three days after a windstorm hit southern Ontario.
In a media bulletin updated Monday morning, Toronto Hydro said repairs can be lengthy as they are working to restore smaller-scale outages.
“There are still numerous downed trees, poles and wires, and the severity of damage is unique to each situation,” Toronto Hydro said.
“Public safety remains our top priority and customers should still treat all downed wires as live.”
They said crews are working 24/7 to fully rectify the situation, but they can not provide customers with an estimated time of restoration.
Around 30,000 Toronto Hydro customers lost power on Friday evening due to high winds that reached gusts up to 120 km/h.
Toronto Mayor John Tory provided a summary of the damage during a press conference on Monday and said there were 1,400 tree related incidents, 500 of which have been resolved and 700 are being addressed.
Toronto Hydro also reminds customers to be careful around fallen wires and to stay at least 10 metres back.
