CUC assistant executive director Abe Utu Malae said the worst hit area was Feeder 4 in Kagman.
However, on Monday, the remaining 90 of the more than 500 customers that had no electricity on Saturday were able to get back their power supply, Malae said.
CUC Executive Director Antonio Muna said the final damage report will be available after their restoration effort is completed.
According to Malae, CUC line crews have been working in 12- to 14-hour shifts since Friday evening.
The damage caused to the water and wastewater facilities was only minimal and the sporadic power outages resulted in the shutdown of pumps in affected areas and at one of the wastewater treatment plants, he added.
Malae said the power outages were caused by debris or vegetation coming into contact with the primary lines, including trees falling on conductors.
CUC received an average of 500 calls during typhoons but only 125 of then complained of power outages.
On Monday, Malae said the line crews responded to an additional 12 new calls from around the island.
“Incipient failures” may occur following a storm, he added.
“The storm ‘softens’ up the power network and failures occur at these vulnerable spots. This is what happened on Monday when a transformer failed causing power outage to at least six families,” he said.
