Area Power Outage Shuts Down Cedar Rapids District
A major power outage affected a large number of Iowa Electric Light and Power Co. customers Thursday morning, with power off up to two hours. Officials traced the failure to the Sixth Street station after a transformer at Coldstream substation reportedly blew, triggering a cascade of tripped circuit breakers. Power was restored by mid morning as alternate sources came online, with Northeast, southeast, and northwest areas affected including Park Towne, Downing Box, Nash Finch, Lehigh, Collins, Northwestern Bell, and nearby streets. No injuries were reported.
