(Danville, Va.) – About 800 to 1,000 Danville Utilities customers are still without power as eight crews from other cities assist the city with repairs following Thursday’s storm.

They experienced a temporary setback Monday afternoon when a tree fell across a power line on Memorial Drive, knocking out service to a pair of substation feeders serving 1,800 residents in Forest Hills, Beverstone and the Westmoreland neighborhoods. The problem was corrected in about 90 minutes.

Crews also finished working on Girard Street, which had substantial damage with broken poles and fallen trees. With those issues fixed, service was restored as well to Richmond Boulevard from Girard Street to Purdum Woods.

In Pittsylvania County, work continues in the Cascade, Kentuck off Route 360, Laurel Grove, Sutherlin and Alton areas. In Cascade, crews restored power on Fontaine Road, and they continue working on both sides of Cascade Road/Route 622 toward Huntington Trail.
