FOX13 Memphis · last updated

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Light, Gas and Water said it has completed storm restoration for all known customers who are able to receive power after last weekend’s bow echo storm.

The Aug. 22 storm knocked out power for more than 100,000 MLGW customers.

MLGW said more than 100 customers cannot have their power restored because their homes were damaged by the storm.

According to MLGW, customers who have damage to their electric service equipment will need to contact a qualified electrician to make repairs before MLGW can reconnect their electricity.

MLGW said customers should contact the utility to have their service line lowered at no charge so a contractor can safely make the needed repairs.
