Staff report
SALEM
Power to about 1,160 customers, primarily in Salem, with a portion in Canfield, was out for 1 hour, 15 minutes as Ohio Edison workers replaced a piece of equipment that stopped working, said David Turner, the company’s area manager for Mahoning and Columbiana counties.
The outage started at 7:30 p.m. and ended at 8:45 p.m. Thursday, Turner said.
Once the electricity regulator that malfunctioned was replaced, the power was restored, he said.
There is no known cause for the failure, Turner said late Thursday.
