Connoquenessing power outage affects nearly 2,000 customers

Nearly 2,000 West Penn Power customers were without electricity Monday morning in the Connoquenessing area, including Connoquenessing Elementary School.

According to First Energy outage information online, that amounts to more than 99% of customers in the borough and 90% in the township.

Lauren Siburkis, spokesman for First Energy, the parent company of West Penn Power, said animal contact with equipment at about 10 a.m. at a nearby substation caused the outage.

Siburkis said most customers would be back up at lunchtime.
