Blown transformer causes outage

August 9, 2013
A blown transformer behind Bonners Ferry City Hall caused a power outage shortly before noon today that affected areas both in town and in the county, including the traffic lights at Three Mile.

Shortly after the first transformer blew, a second one went, exacerbating the problem, but city power crews were able to get power restored by 1 p.m.

In addition to the loss of electricity, many in the area lost cell service and internet access.
