PERRYVILLE — Several Citizens Electric Corporation members in the area of Route C and Sawmill Road in Ste. Genevieve County reported blinks prior to a power outage Thursday night.
Citizens Electric officials said the outage was caused by a mechanical failure on a regulator serving the distribution circuit that supplies power to the Lake Seven Falls area.
A new regulator was put in service to restore power.
One hundred ninety members were without power from 8:13 p.m. to 9:50 p.m.
Regulators on a distribution circuit ensure that the proper voltage is supplied to each member.
