This comes after an outage affected 3,352 homes in Herriman and Riverton Saturday morning. It was resolved within about two hours. RMP said it was the result of a power line being damaged by a dig.
Then several hours later, an outage affected 2,876 homes in West Jordan. It was first reported around 7 p.m., and power was restored to all customers by about 9:30. The company has not announced the cause.
A smaller outage on the west side of the valley temporarily left about 660 West Valley City residences without power Saturday evening. It has since been restored as well.
