COLORADO SPRINGS — Service was restored to two major Briargate areas of Colorado Springs by Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) around 4:00 a.m. on Thursday after power was lost around 3:30 a.m.
According to the Colorado Springs Utilities map the outage affected two large service areas from Powers Boulevard in the east to I-25 in the west.
We'll just use this as a reminder to please be patient and remember to treat all traffic lights as if they were four-way stops when the power is out.
At this time, News5 does not know what caused the outage.
Crews are responding to an outage affecting about 3,000 customers in north Colorado Springs in the Briargate area. Estimated restoration is 1-4 hours. Treat all traffic lights as four-way stops. Check our outage map for updates at https://t.co/DTg0Tyxu9K. pic.twitter.com/KJ1tgFETVs
