Electric Power Outage Thurs AM Parts of Jmst

Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Sept 26, 2013) — Otter Tail Power customers in part of Northeast Jamestown, and most of Northwest Jamestown lost electrical power about mid morning Thursday.

Jamestown office, Customer Service Manager Jeff Hoff said the outage was caused by a squirrel that shorted a line originating in Northeast Jamestown.

Crews were re-routing service to restore power to the affected areas, and all the outages were restored by about 10-a.m., while some customers were back on line by about 9:30-a.m.

Hoff says more information will be available later Thursday, following a report from the crews on scene.
