Darkness falls across the land
By Brian Admin,
9 days agoMany folks up late on Halloween in Walsenburg and elsewhere in the region were suddenly plunged into darkness Halloween night when San Isabel Electric suffered an outage. SIEA spokesperson Paris Daugherty explained, “The power outage began shortly after 10:30 p.m. and affected roughly 1,700 meters, including the City of Walsenburg and meters up into the Gardner area. A piece of equipment in the Walsenburg substation failed. Responding line-workers located the piece of substation equipment that failed; they bypassed it, and restored power to the substation. Meters started restoring shortly after 11:30 p.m.” Daugherty added, “the numbers that our outage map displays are typically inflated, especially outside of business hours, because of the way signals come in from the meters and how they’re received at signal collection points. There were no outages in Pueblo County or south of Aguilar.”
