Power Outage

Submitted by Keith Hutchinson, Public Communications Manager, City of Georgetown

A transformer fire reported Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at 137 Crystal Springs in Sun City led to a power outage that left 6,800 homes without electricity. The Georgetown Fire Department responded and put out the fire using an absorbent material. Georgetown Utility Systems crews also responded and restored power to all but nine customers by 7:20 p.m. All power was restored as of 9:15 p.m.

The Georgetown Police Department is investigating the incident. Police believe that the transformer fire was due to a vehicle that struck the transformer and left the scene. Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to call the Georgetown Police Department at 512-930-3510.

Note from the CA: During a power outage your electric garage door opener will not work. Please consider taking a key with you any time you leave your home so that you can get back into the home.
