A power outage briefly left roughly 500 without power this morning.
The outage took place on Manitowoc’s northside today (August 6th) at 3:54 a.m., and electricity was restored at 4:16 a.m., lasting 22 minutes.
According to Manitowoc Public Utilities, there was initially a pole fire which did not cause an outage.
However, for safety reasons, they were forced to take the whole circuit out of power to extinguish the flames and install temporary repairs.
Manitowoc Public Utilities will be making permanent repairs to the pole later today.
