Update: Power Restored in Stafford After Morning Outage

STAFFORD, VA - A power outage Thursday morning left about 7,000 customers without electricity in Stafford County, according to Dominion Virginia Power, but it was quickly restored.

An equipment failure at a substation in Garrisonville led to the outage, according to Daisy Pridgen, a Dominion spokeswoman, and the power disruption was centered in that area.

Power company workers got the substation up and running again, and electricity was restored to all customers by 11:15 a.m., Pridgen said.

Some customers lost power for about nine minutes, she said, while others lost power for up to 34 minutes. Dominion Virginia Power has more than 47,000 customers in Stafford.
