ottertailpoweroutageJamestown (CSi)  Officials with Otter Tail Power Company in Jamestown reported late Thursday afternoon that the substations that went out of service due to Thursday morning severe thunderstorms and wind gusts to 75 mph are all on line with good distribution of power.

Jeff Hoff at the Jamestown office says the power to the city was restored in sections, with the last area back on line at about 2-p.m.

Hoff says the focus now remains getting power restored to individual locations where down trees took down power lines.

He adds that Otter Tail crews are working on replacing a damaged power pole carrying transmission lines in the Spiritwood area.

He says Otter Tail Power crews from Rugby, Devils Lake, and Bottineau, came to Jamestown to assist the Jamestown crews.

He says there is generally a two week period ahead, where tree limbs that were weakened by Thursday’s wind may yet come down and cause more power line damages and outages.
