Power outage early Mon. am

Jametown (CSi) Otter Tail Power Company reports that part of southwest Jamestown, including most of the downtown area, was out of power for 1 hour and 25 minutes early Monday morning.

Otter Tail’s Jeff Hoff in Jamestown says the cause of the outage was a primary underground fault that occurred in the downtown substation.

He says 672 customers were effected in Downtown Jamestown and a portion of Southwest Jamestown.

The outage was reported at 3:52 a.m., and restored at 5:17 a.m.

Hoff says the circuit was rerouted to restore power to the affected area.

He adds that Otter Tail officials were assessing plans on Monday to fix the problem and reroute the power to the original circuit.
