Over 4,700 Mahoning County homes remain without power

Power outages across Mahoning County have decreased to fewer than 5,000 customers as utility crews continue to repair electrical infrastructure following storm-related service disruptions.

According to data from the FirstEnergy outage map at 3 a.m. Tuesday, 4,705 customers are remaining without electricity in the county. This current figure represents approximately 4% of the utility’s total number of customers in the county, marking a decline from the 8,000 reported outages 24 hours earlier.

Boardman Township accounts for the largest single share of the remaining disruptions. In that community, 2,755 out of 22,053 customers are still experiencing power losses, which means approximately 12% of the township is waiting for service to return.

In Canfield Township, 1,123, or 28% of FirstEnergy customers are still without service. In the city of Canfield itself, an additional 198 customers are waiting for their electricity to be restored.

In Austintown Township, 500, or roughly 3%, are still without power.

In contrast, other portions of the county show fewer ongoing disruptions. In Youngstown, 119 outages are reported, representing less than 1% of the city’s total. Poland Township has nearly returned to normal operations, with only a single customer on the active outage map as of Tuesday morning.

FirstEnergy expects to have service fully restored to Boardman, Austintown, Canfield, Poland, and Youngstown by Wednesday evening, July 8, at 11 p.m.

The company notes that restoration times are estimates and may change depending on weather conditions or the complexity of the damage found by crews on the scene.
