An area of Jamestown lost power for nearly an hour Friday.
Otter Tail officials said the outage occurred at 12:50 p.m. and lasted until 1:36 p.m. A section of the northwest part of town and a small portion south of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad tracks were affected.
Charles Krebs, Otter Tail operations manager, said it appeared there was a fault in a new cable, which runs under the tracks. Crews are working to find the fault.
“We’ll test the cable to isolate the section,” Krebs said.
