UPDATE:
AMMON — Rocky Mountain Power still has no estimated time to restore power to thousands whose lights went dark Monday morning.
Just before 4 p.m., the power company said they are working to restore the power to around 9,500 customers. An initial report was to have power back on by 3:30 p.m., but a company spokesperson said that was just an estimation.
“The interruption is due to technical equipment issues in the Sandcreek substation,” Rocky Mountain Power said in a statement. “Our company is actively pursuing several parallel remedies to restore customers as soon as possible. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your continued patience.”
