Power restored to 1,630 Windward customers
A broken insulator on an electric pole on Palawiki Street in Kailua led to a power outage affecting 1,630 customers in the Wanaao Road area this morning.
The outage lasted for about an hour, from about 7:35 a.m. to 8:32 a.m., said Hawaiian Electric Co. spokesman Peter Rosegg.
What caused the insulator to break was not certain, although “the (bad) weather didn’t help,” he said.
