Over 800 customers of Shelby Electric Cooperative in central and southern Shelby County experienced 2 power outages Sunday.

The first was from approximate 10:45am until 12:30pm.   The second occurred during the 3pm hour on Sunday.

On the co-op’s their outage map at 4pm Sunday, 518 customers in Cold Spring, Dry Point, Lakewood, Oconee, Pana, Tower Hill, and Rose Townships in Shelby County were still without power.  At the outage’s peak around o’clock, 819 customers were without electricity.

Officials were hoping to get power restored to the remaining areas Sunday afternoon.

The power outage also affected the Miller Media Group’s WSVZ 98-point-3 signal, after technicians repairing the station’s generator there on Sunday found mice had chewed some internal wires on the generator preventing it from coming on.  After repairs were made, the station returned to the air at about 4 o’clock during the second outage.
