SALT LAKE CITY — Thousands of customers in Salt Lake County were left without power as a new storm moved into northern Utah early Wednesday.
Rocky Mountain Power originally reported over 15,000 locations had lost power, mainly in the southern portion of the county. However, as of 5:30 a.m., that number had dropped to below 800.
Crews were first notified of the main outage near Draper at approximately 3:15 a.m., and then minutes later at another outage in the Sandy area.
Officials have not said what caused the power outages, although high winds and gusts felt throughout the state this week are likely to have played a role.
The outages come as the second of multiple storms moves into the state, bringing what is expected to be the first significant snowfall for the valley regions this winter.
