SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Power has been fully restored at homes, schools and businesses across a major swath of San Francisco.

The outage was triggered when a construction crew hit an underground power line. The construction company, a contractor not affiliated with PG&E, was doing construction near Illinois and 22nd streets. PG&E had previously said the location was at Pier 17.
