As of Sunday evening, only three customers in Clermont County are without power, and 91 total in the Greater Cincinnati area, according to Duke Energy's outage map. That's compared to over 10,000 customers on Friday.

Goshen Township administration has been updating its Facebook page throughout the week with updates for residents on how to get help.

Rumpke volunteered to do a special pick-up route in the township. Residents whose streets are closed can bring their trash to roads surrounding Heisler Park, including Woodville Pike, Linton and Manila roads, and Ohio 132. A map can be found here.

Township administrators are asking nonlocal drivers to steer clear of the area if possible. Goshen has a traffic problem, they said, and "a lot" of roads will be closed for cleanup efforts Sunday.

The Clermont County Engineer's Office is stepping in to clear off branches, downed trees and other brush from major roads in Goshen and surrounding townships. The office is posting updates on its Facebook page whenever routes are cleared.
