SALT LAKE CITY — Thousands of customers were without power in the Salt Lake area during different parts of the day after an overnight and early morning storm moved through the state.
While nearly 8,000 were affected by early outages, as of 9:15 a.m., Rocky Mountain Power shows that number had dropped to 3,410 customers.
However, the outages shot up to over 5,500 at 2:30 p.m. due to a downed power line near the intersection of State Street in Miller Avenue. Crews repaired the line and as of 5:15 p.m., just 750 customers were without service.
Of those without service, nearly all are located on the northeast side of the Salt Lake Valley.
Rocky Mountain Power says its crews are investigating all outages and expect service to return on Tuesday.
