Power restored to over 15K customers after Utah County outage

UTAH COUNTY, Utah — A portion of Utah County was left in the dark Friday afternoon after power went out for more than 15,000 Rocky Mountain Power customers.

The outage mainly impacted areas on the West side of Utah lake including Eagle Mountain, Cedar Fort and Saratoga Springs.

The cause of the outage is due to loss of transmission when a track hoe excavated a transmission line.

At its peak, Rocky Mountain Power reported 19,178 customers were without power. By 3 p.m., officials said power had been completely restored.
