Repairs Underway After Power Failure Hits South Lubbock
City power problems disrupted Camia customers in South Lubbock Tuesday afternoon when a malfunction at the Allen substation caused about 20 minutes of outages from Avenue N to Memphis Avenue. SWPS engineer Fray Smith said the substation operated at 40 percent as crews found a faulty connection and began repairs. Lubbock Power and Light began absorbing load later, with the Holly Avenue plant not yet at full capacity. Repairs paused boiler safety checks and a 12 to 24 hour reheating window followed the 16 hour cooling period.
