More Than 200 Geneva Residences Had Power Restored After Storms

GENEVA, IL — One hundred Geneva electric customers are still without power due to the recent storms that hit northern Illinois, according to the Geneva Public Works Department.

Officials said the customers still waiting to have their service restored are generally located west of Geneva High School. Crews are hoping to resolve the problem later on Tuesday or Wednesday.

As of Wednesday afternoon, power has been restored to 200 other customers who lost power during the Sunday night storm, according to an update from the city.

The Western Avenue and Delnor substations lost power around 9 p.m. Tuesday and had it brought back online around 1:14 a.m., officials said. ComEd is investigating what caused their feeder line, which may be outside city limits, to drop to the substations.

Geneva staff estimated between 60 to 100 trees, both on parkways and private property, were knocked down during Monday night's storm. The Tuesday night storm damaged an additional six trees overnight.

The city expects to announce a storm cleanup plan once details are finalized, possibly later on Wednesday, officials said.
