More Than 200 Local Households Without Power This Holiday

More than 200 DTE Energy customers in Chesterfield and New Baltimore were still without power Monday morning, according to the electric company.

DTE spokesman Len Singer said crews working around the clock are expected to be in the area again on the holiday to restore power to most of those affected households. However, some isolated pockets may not get their lights back on until Tuesday.

A total of 4,000 DTE customers in the Chesterfield Township area lost power during the Saturday night thunderstorm, with many seeing it restored immediately after, Singer said.

By Monday morning, 258 customers--many of whom are in the Jefferson and Cotton area--did not have power. Most of them, however, can expect to see their lights come back on by Monday night, according to DTE.

Throughout southeast Michigan, approximately 125,000 DTE customers lost power in the storm, with 50,000 still without power Monday morning. About 1,000 of those customers are in Macomb County, according to DTE.
