SALT LAKE COUNTY — Thousands of homes and other buildings in the southern portion of the Salt Lake Valley lost power Tuesday evening, but the issue has since been fixed and electricity has been restored.
Rocky Mountain Power reported on its outage map that there were more than 15,000 customers without electricity as of 6 p.m. Most of the outages were clustered around South Jordan and Draper, with some more in the surrounding cities from West Jordan to Bluffdale.
Around 7 p.m., RMP said nearly all customers' power was restored. By 8 p.m., the company said all power in the affected areas was restored.
"If your power is still out, check your breakers," a tweet from RMP read.
The cause of the outages was the loss of a transmission line. Transmission lines feed into substations, which then feed into neighborhoods, according to an RMP spokesperson.
