COUNTY NEWS RELEASE

The only property left without electric service after an early  morning power outage is one building at Trinity Village Apartments. Restoration there is  expected to take about two more hours. 

Electric crews from the Department of Public Utilities used radar to find an underground fault  and are digging it out to make necessary repairs. The cable is about three feet deep near the  entrance to Trinity Village, across from the Mary Deal Building on Trinity.  

Drivers in the eastbound lane of Trinity should exercise caution when driving toward the  entrance to the apartment building. The work is on the shoulder and sidewalk and no traffic  controls are in place. 

The faulted cable knocked out power for all of Circuit 13 before 6:30 this morning. Circuit 13  includes areas along Trinity between Oppenheimer and Sandia, including Western Area, and the  ski hill.
