AMEREN CUSTOMERS EFFECTED BY POWER OUTAGE
AmerenCIPS customers in Iroquois County were left without service Monday afternoon. But a company spokesman said the outage was short-lived. Repair crews had electricity restored within an hour, according to Ameren customer service representative Leigh Morris.
A utility pole caught fire in Watseka causing a cross arm to break and twist. That caused a breaker to trip and eliminate power to 3,096 customers in Iroquois County. Communities effected included Watseka, Beaverville, Donovan, Iroquois, Martinton, Papineau and Sheldon. Service was out from 5:14 pm until 6:06 pm.
