Status of Closed Roads Due to Downed Hydro Lines

The Township of Severn's staff have been actively working around the clock since Saturday to remove debris and downed trees from Township roadways.  Roadways that remain closed are those that have downed powerlines and are awaiting Hydro One clearance.  Once Hydro One has cleared a powerline and declared the area safe, Township staff will move into dispose of debris.

Due to the seriousness nature of electrical currents, only Hydro One or their licensed contractors have the authority to remove branches or downed trees near hydro lines.  Hydro One has been made aware of the current downed trees and branches on powerlines with the Township.  If additional trees or branches are effecting Hydro One lines, please call their 24/7 emergency hotline at 1-800-434-1235.  

We thank our residents for your understanding and the Township asks that you continue to use caution when traveling.
