Murfreesboro Electric customers along Broad and South Church Streets--including industrial areas off Middle Tennessee Boulevard and Park Avenue were without power for almost an hour Monday afternoon.

Customers in the Broad and South Church Street areas and along the industrial complexes off Middle Tennessee Boulevard were impacted. That included Paulo Murfreesboro, Mayday Brewery and the WGNS' tower site.

Murfreesboro Electric's Jordan Warren explained, "The outage was a result of a series of problems, starting with a lightning arestor blowing on Rutledge Way. That caused a 3-phase fault, which in turn brought-down Murfreesboro Electric's 46 kilovolt system."

Warren noted that 1,300 customers were without power from shortly after 4:00PM until almost 5:00 o'clock.

Around 5:00PM, quick work by crews repaired the problems and the power was restored.
