Crews are on scene working to restore power to the remaining customers.
There is no time estimate as to when the power will return.
Another, smaller outage affecting less than five customers is also happening on Old Boucherie Road. Power has been out in that area since 9:12 a.m. and crews are currently on-scene.
More to come.
