More than 1,100 people lost power on Tucson’s Eastside Tuesday morning after stormy weather brought down a wire near Broadway and Pantano.
Tucson Electric Power spokesperson J.D. Wallace said the outage started around 8:15 a.m. Crews moved quickly, restoring power to a large portion of customers within about 40 minutes. Power was back on for everyone just after 10 a.m.
“And that can include rerouting power, as we did this morning for a large portion of those customers. And then we also respond as quickly as possible with our crews to repair damage as quickly as possible while also maintaining service for as many customers as we can safely do so,” Wallace said…
