According to Pepco, currently, we have 12 customers in the College Park area at this time, in the vicinity of 48th Street, that was affected by the storm and has not been restored as of yet, due to the level of system damage.
There are also ten active non-storm-related outages showing on our system. Pepco is actively addressing these outages.
Pepco is projecting to restore these customers by 7:30 p.m. this evening.
Tonight’s City’s Friday Night LIVE event and Saturday’s Hollywood Farmers Market will occur as scheduled.
This has been a very challenging time for many of our residents. Cleanup efforts will continue in the coming weeks ahead. Please be patient; we are working as quickly as possible to clear City streets and paths while ensuring staff safety and restoring services to residents. We are grateful to our community for coming together during this time of need and showing the region (and the nation) the strength of the College Park community.
