Power outage strikes 100 Carson homes on Wednesday afternoon

Problems with a piece of underground equipment led to 100 customers being deprived of power for about 90 minutes Wednesday afternoon, a NV Energy spokeswoman said.

A piece of equipment was not operating properly, which led to the short outage around Sonoma Street, depriving the electronics from 2:17 p.m. until 3:45.

Repairs are expected to continue today.
