Squirrel Responsible for Falls City Power Outage
03/14/2016

(KLZA)--On Saturday March 12th, 2016 at approximately 12:25 p-m a squirrel crossed a bus bar and the metal substation frame causing OPPD’s main incoming breaker to trip. This resulted in the entire town being without electric power until generators could be started to restore electricity to the system. Temporary repairs have been made on our substation at the power plant. Falls City Utilities will need to make permanent repairs once the new parts arrive. This will require de-energizing a large part of the town’s electrical system while repairs are made. Falls City Utilities will notify our customers once we schedule these repairs.

Falls City Utilities will schedule a time that will affect the least amount of customers. We thank you for your understanding and you can obtain updates on our facebook page.
