South Suburbs Go Dark

By Tim State in News on Apr 11, 2009 7:45PM

10,000 Commonwealth Edison customers were without power when they woke up this morning. People living in the south suburbs in Evergreen Park, Bedford Park, Oak Lawn, Burbank, Stickney, Summit, Bolingbrook and Bridgeview lost power about 1:30 a.m.

Crews were dispatched, and power was restored to most customers by 9 a.m. this morning. The cause was not immediately know, and a spokesperson from ComEd said the priority was restoring power before determining the cause. [S-T]
