HUBBARD — Ohio Edison restored power to the remaining Hubbard homes affected by an early-morning outage today.

According to Luann Haddad, Ohio Edison’s Trumbull County manager, workers replaced the two downed poles, wires, and the two transformers damaged at around 1:15 a.m. that cut power to more than 100 homes in the immediate area.

Ohio Edison has not released an official cause for the outage, which was resolved by 3 p.m. today, but township Police Chief Todd Coonce said it is believed that one utility pole toppled due to rotting at its base.
