Orange and Rockland Utilities (O&R) continues restoration efforts across its service area after high winds and frigid temperatures caused power outages on Monday.

According to O&R, emergency response crews, along with 50 mutual aid workers, have restored power to more than 4,600 customers since yesterday afternoon. Crews remain deployed and are actively working to restore service to all remaining affected customers.

Utility officials are urging customers to report any new or ongoing outages as soon as possible to help crews identify problem areas and restore power more efficiently, particularly as extreme cold conditions persist.

O&R says restoration efforts will continue until all customers have their service fully restored.
