Customers urged to stay clear of downed wires
CHICAGO (Oct. 30, 2019) - ComEd crews are working to restore power to more than 15,000 customers throughout our service area after a wintery storm with wet, heavy snow moved through the area. So far, crews have restored more than 31,000 customers.
As a result of the storm, tree limbs have fallen onto power lines, knocking them to the ground. ComEd offers the following tips and information for customers to stay safe following severe weather:
ComEd urges customers to contact the company immediately if they experience a power outage. Customers can text OUT to 26633 (COMED) to report an outage and receive restoration information, and can follow the company on Twitter @ComEd or on Facebook at Facebook.com/ComEd. Customers can also call 1-800 EDISON1 (1-800-334-7661), or report outages via the website at www.ComEd.com/report. Spanish-speaking customers should call 1-800-95-LUCES (1-800-955-8237).
ComEd has introduced a mobile app for iPhone and Android® smart phones that gives customers the ability to report power outages and manage their accounts; download the app at www.ComEd.com/app.
ComEd has an interactive outage map on its website at www.ComEd.com/map, which allows customers to easily find information on the location and size of outages and get estimated power restoration times.
