Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) is thanking customers for their patience during the massive storm restoration during the first week of April. A destructive snow, ice and wind storm on March 29 knocked out power to over 193,000 customers.
On April 4, field workers from across the Midwest wrapped up their restoration efforts.
Crews worked nonstop, around the clock to repair snapped utility poles, downed power lines and damaged electric equipment until every last customer had their lights back on.
During the week, customers and communities thanked field crews for their hard work. From a honked horn or a wave, to a positive social media comment, countless customers took time to show their appreciation. Those kind gestures did not go unnoticed and helped keep WPS crews going through 16-hour shifts and day after day of difficult work.
While final details are still being gathered, WPS can confirm that this is one of the largest restoration efforts in company history.
Customers shared some kind words on our social media pages to our field crews during the restoration event.
