Slowly, power and gas services are being restored to affected areas as approximately 7,000 power and 6,000 gas customers wait for their services to be restored.
Good progress continues to be made on repairs to the water systems in the area.
Many systems are back on line, however the water is still not potable until the water mains can be assessed. The leasing of FEMA travel trailers to applicants is running smoothly and a permanent staging area has been identified in the Grand Forks area. There have been approximately 100 travel trailers ordered, of which 23 have arrived and 14 are already occupied.
