Power Outage Hits Lake Ridge

Lake Ridge, Va. — The power is back on in Lake Ridge after just 1,900 customers lost their juice Friday afternoon.

Dominion Virginia Power said customers who live and work in the area of Old Bridge Road and Springwoods Drive lost power about 3 p.m. due to a faulty piece of equipment.

Power was restored for a majority of the customers about 5 p.m., and about 200 customers were slated to have their power restored by 9 p.m., said Dominion spokeswoman Le-Ha Anderson.

Anderson added the faulty piece of equipment had to be replaced in order for power to be restored.

The power outage came on an unseasonable day in January when temperatures soared above 60 degrees.
