Turkey Causes Power Outage

Twenty-four hundred Northern Wasco County PUD customers lost power Monday morning when a turkey flew into power lines, causing protection devices to open at the PUD’s 10th Street Substation.  The outage occurred around 6 a.m. Monday.  Power was restored in stages, with about 1,400 customers regaining electricity within 45 minutes and another 750 were back up by about 8:30 a.m.  About 250 customers on Mill Creek south of West 23rd Street were without power until about 10:15 a.m., when repairs were completed.
