Transformer failure leads to short power outage

There was a limited power outage early Wednesday morning, which Midwest Energy believes to be related to a transformer failure.

Midwest spokesman Mike Morley said the outage, which began at 6:18 a.m., affected three customers in the 100 block of East 23rd for 48 minutes.

“Forty-eight minutes … that’s very quick for a transformer repair,” Morley noted.

Midwest maintains a log of active outages across its service area. Visit the Midwest website and click “Outage Viewer.”
