Brief Outages This Morning


Oxford News

***UPDATE***

The City Crew discovered that a bad insulator at the City's power plant was the cause of the two blown fuses earlier this morning. They have replaced the insulator along with both fuses so there should be no further outages. 

 

The two brief power outages this morning were caused by blown fuses. Our city crew is currently working to locate the source of the issue. Thank you for your patience. We'll provide an update when available.
