MERRILL, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – Following a power outage in Merrill that affected 3,500 WPS customers on Tuesday, electricity has been restored to all but 46 customers.
The “demolition project” at Merrill’s former grain mill was the source of the interruption, according to Matt Cullen, Senior WPS Communications Specialist. Cullen stated that the interruption was caused by pieces of a grain bin falling onto overhead electricity lines.
Crews rerouted power around the damage and WPS hopes to have the other 46 customers’ power back by early Tuesday evening.
