WEEK | 25 News Now · last updated

(25News Now) — Hundreds of customers were without electricity in Tazewell and Fulton counties late Saturday as high winds accompanied this weekend’s heavy snow.

As of 10:55 p.m., Ameren Illinois’ outage map showed 144 customers without electricity in the Farmington area. Ameren said the cause of the outage isn’t known, and there’s no word when power will be restored there. The outage was first reported at 9:43 p.m.

PowerOutage.com reports on its website that lights were out for 403 power customers in Tazewell County. Ameren’s outage map indicates almost all of those customers are from the Green Valley area, south of Pekin.

Included in the Tazewell County outages are 158 customers who lost power at 4:48 p.m. because of a wire problem, according to Ameren.

No estimate has been given when electricity will be restored in the Green Valley area.
