POWER UPDATE The 25 minute outage that occurred this evening beginning around 5:30pm was caused by the faulty relay. We are expecting delivery of this part next week, which will fix the issue. In the meantime, if it goes off again a city employee will be dispatched immediately to fix the issue. We cannot bypass the relay without opening ourselves to danger of a large electrical fire or explosion which could cause severe injury or even death. We do apologize for the inconvenience and assure you that power outages caused by this particular issue will not be lengthy. With a single substation delivering power to the town, we cannot utilize a backup power system to avoid outages (such as the power plant) since the power generated would need to flow through this relay.
