Power has now been restored for the more than 1,000 customers in the Hartfield, Dewittville, Maple Springs and Ellery areas who were without power yesterday.

With the power back on, the Chautauqua County Office of Emergency Services reminds individuals affected by the outage to please check their homes for any burst water pipes or flooded basements due to sump pump failures and the possibility of electric shock due to electrical contact with water.

Those who experience any odors of smoke should call 911 immediately. Any concerns with natural gas can be directed to National Fuel at 800-444-3130.
