If customers are still without power later this afternoon, they are encouraged to call 1-800-895-1999. Additionally, they should check for damage to their mast, which is the electric service connection to their home. If their mast is damaged, a licensed electrician must make repairs and it must be inspected before service can be restored.
Since Thursday night, approximately 36,000 customers initially had outages and a few hundred are still without power. The majority of remaining outages are in the Sioux Falls, Salem and Bridgewater areas, although a number of communities also have smaller numbers of outages.
