Pioneer Elementary School in Ashwaubenon is closed Wednesday because it doesn’t have power.
WPS says it has restored power to about 27,000 customers since the storms passed through. Spokesperson Matt Cullen says crews are working as quickly and safely as possible to restore power to its remaining 10,000 customers without power.
WPS says if you see a downed power line, do not touch it, even if you don’t see sparks. It’s also not a good idea to try to remove any debris on the downed line. Stay at least 25 feet away from it and call WPS at 800-450-7240 to report it.
