Overloaded power system fails on South Shore
Electricity is out on both sides of the state line on the South Shore.
A loud boom was heard and then reports of outages at Heavenly Village.
Liberty Utilities spokeswoman Kathy Carter said the problem is “due high loads causing equipment failure.”
It may be nightfall before everything is back up and running.
She did not have an exact number of customers who were affected. NV Energy is reporting 413 customers in Douglas County are without power.
