A circuit trip is to blame for a widespread power outage in the Greater Jamestown area Thursday morning.
The Jamestown Board of Public Utilities said a circuit tripped at the Dow Street Substation which caused the outage from 8:53 a.m. until restorations began at 9:19 a.m.
The power outage affected a wide area including all of Jamestown, and parts of Lakewood, Frewsburg, and Falconer.
As a result of the power outage, water pumps turned off, stirring the water. Discolored water is expected to clear by this morning.
