Most La Grange Residents Get Power Back: ComEd

LA GRANGE, IL — Nearly all the 1,900 ComEd customers in La Grange affected by outages after Monday's storm had their power back as of Tuesday morning, according to the utility's online map.

Only a few isolated outages remain, with five or 10 customers in each case affected, the map indicates. In southeastern La Grange, 305 customers were without power, but that situation appeared to straddle the border between La Grange and Countryside. In comments to this story, some residents say the utility's numbers are wrong for La Grange.

La Grange's situation is far better than other suburbs. For instance, more than 6,400 were still affected by outages in Elmhurst as of Tuesday morning, according to ComEd. Those outages have no estimated restoration times.

Across ComEd's service territory, 378,904 customers were without service Tuesday morning. ComEd has a little more than 4 million customers in its service area.

Residents should call 1-800-EDISON1 in the event of a power outage. They are advisted to stay away from any downed lines.
