Power was restored to much of the Rose City and Faulkner Crossing area around 1:30 p.m. Saturday, after an outage that affected several hundred customers.
Jill Ponder, a spokesperson for the company, said a truck ran into a pole near the area, knocking it over and causing the outage.
“Our engineers were able to do some switching and everyone but three warehouses should have power restored,” Ponder said.
According to the spokesperson, engineers will still have to replace the damaged pole but electricity has been restored.
