Power Restored to Occoquan's Business District
Those living on Poplar Lane are still without power.
From Mayor Earnie Porta's email newsletter, sent Oct. 30 at 11:30 p.m.:
Power has been restored in Occoquan's business district (i.e. north of Commerce Street). As of the time of this writing, Dominion and their contractors are working on the power lines that pass adjacent to the Route 123 bridge, travel out of town, cross Route 123, and come back into town via Washington Street.
They have indicated that once repaired these lines should bring back online almost everyone else in Occoquan except those living on Poplar Lane. The latter will be offline at least until tomorrow, as damage to two houses must first be addressed. Dominion and contractor crews are working throughout the evening.
