Blowout Damage at Power Station Estimated at 125000
Damage to the Sixth Street power station was estimated at 125000 after electric power was restored citywide. A major rebuilding effort is needed to return a 13800 volt distribution unit to service as emergency measures keep Cedar Rapids running. The outage followed Tuesday’s winds and a possible strike by a tree branch on a primary feeder near Fruehaus, which tripped an oil circuit breaker that failed to clear the fault. Power was restored to all areas by 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.
