Thousands of residents in southern Butler County are dealing with a power outage.
According to West Penn Power, over 11,000 customers mostly in Adams and Forward Townships as well as Mars Borough experienced power loss beginning around 3 p.m.
According to a First Energy representative, the cause of the outage is “an issue with a high-voltage power line”. Crews responded to the scene to make the necessary repairs.
Many traffic lights were out on Route 228 in the Mars area. Motorists were advised to avoid that area if possible. Power is expected to be restored by sometime early Wednesday evening.
