SPRINGFIELD — City Utilities says they think they found the cause of a massive power outage in Springfield and hope to have a permanent fix in place next week.
The Campbell 16 Theater was one of dozens of businesses and homes that lost power Saturday night after a problem at an electrical station near Republic Road. The outage also knocked out traffic signals along Campbell.
City Utilities says a faulty switch near a sub-station triggered the black-out which may have also been caused by high strain on the system due to the heat.
