Power Outage in Springs Leaves More Than 2,000 Without Power Sunday

SPRINGS, NY — A power outage in Springs left more than 2,000 residents without electricity in the sweltering heat Sunday.

As of 8 p.m., 2,227 customers were without power, PSEG media rep Elizabeth Flagler said. Flagler said PSEG technicians were out patroling the line.

"They'll have everyone back on as soon as they can," she said, adding that the outage was heat related.

Flagler said earlier Sunday that the high temperatures had led to some PSEG employees suffering with heat exhaustion after working in the field, something that had not happened in past years.
