Wisconsin electric utility workers returned home after helping with Hurricane Milton’s recovery in Florida.
The team of 47 workers from 22 communities was originally set to help out in Kissimmee, Florida, but was redirected to Lakeland, Florida, where the damage was more severe.
The Municipal Electric Utilities of Wisconsin (MEUW) workers helped restore power in the area for about 86,000 customers. MEUW noted lineworkers from Wisconsin worked alongside crews from eight other states and Lakeland Electric employees. As of Tuesday, MEUW said there are fewer than 100 customers without power. Wisconsin crews were able to finish their work in about a week.
