Over 1500 customers lose power for over seven hours in Linden Sunday
According to the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) the power outage in Linden, on Sunday afternoon, October 25, was reported to be caused by a vehicular accident impacting the Linden substation.
One impacted person on Apple Mountain said they believed two vehicles may have been involved.
Power was lost at 12:36 p.m. and was restored to the 1,509 impacted customers at 7:58 p.m. that evening, an REC employee told Royal Examiner.
Power restoration can be a tricky business.
If you lose service in your home or neighborhood, please remember the following:
• Stay clear of downed power lines. Contact with these lines could be life-threatening.
• Report the outage to REC (or your electric provider) as soon as possible.
• Be sure to inform REC (or your electric provider) if you see damage such as a fallen tree or broken pole.
