All of Westminster Without Power

Westminster’s entire supply of electricity went down this morning, and reports indicate that it would not be restored until sometime in the afternoon. All of Westminster’s customers are being affected by the outage. Duke Energy, which supplies the reactor with electricity for the Piedmont Municipal Power Agency, said that the “issue is with the town’s equipment.” They added that they are “providing [Duke’s] expertise to town officials as they work to resolve the issue.” If power is not restored in time, this evening’s scheduled City Council meeting could be delayed.
