A blown transformer behind Bonners Ferry City
Hall caused a power outage shortly before noon
today that affected areas both in town and in
the county, including the traffic lights at
Three Mile. Shortly after the first transformer blew, a second one went, exacerbating the problem, but city power crews were able to get power restored by 1 p.m. In addition to the loss of electricity, many in the area lost cell service and internet access. |
