DENVER (KDVR) — A weather-related power outage in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood left approximately 2,888 households without power for several hours on Saturday afternoon.
A representative from Xcel Energy tells FOX31 that equipment failing on a primary pole caused the fuses on the line to blow, which protects the rest of the system from experiencing a greater outage.
Residents in the area report hearing two loud booms before losing power completely.
Xcel expected to have power back on by 6 p.m. and they restored it before then.
This is a developing story and will be updated as new information is received.
