Storm Cleanup Update

The Municipality of Huron East is responding to significant storm damage across the municipality.

Municipal crews are actively working to clear roads and restore safe travel conditions. Please be aware that some roads remain closed due to fallen trees, debris, and downed power lines. Crews cannot safely clear roadways until Hydro One has completed repairs to affected power lines.

Residents will notice tree branches and storm debris throughout the municipality. While municipal staff are aware of these areas and cleanup will continue, the current priority is reopening roads and addressing safety concerns. At this time, there is no estimated timeline for completing roadside debris cleanup.

We appreciate residents' patience and understanding as crews focus on the most urgent priorities. Residents are encouraged to avoid closed roads, stay clear of downed power lines, and follow updates from Municipal511 for current road closure information.
