About 1,900 households in Marion County remain without power Wednesday afternoon, down from 3,600 Tuesday, according to Portland General Electric.
The utility’s most recent restoration map shows parts of east Salem and south Salem could have power restored within a day while the southernmost portions of the city could be waiting for power up to four days.
In parts of east and south Salem there are nearly 600 customers without power who should see it restored within a day, according to the PGE map.
In parts of south Salem and Turner there are more than 1,200 customers without power who could be waiting up to four days to see it restored, the map shows.
PGE said there are 46 crews in the Salem region working to repair storm damage and get customers lights back on.
Pacific Power, which serves outlying areas of Marion County, said all of its customers had service restored as of Sunday, Feb. 21. The power company made crews available to PGE.
