Just over 7,500 Dominion customers in the Ballston area are without power Sunday evening.

The outage was first reported around 6 p.m. and the exact cause is, so far, unclear.

Among the neighborhoods affected are Ballston, Bluemont, Buckingham and Ashton Heights, according to Dominion’s outage map. Restoration is preliminarily expected between Sunday night and early Monday morning.

Some traffic signals are said to be dark in the area, and the fire department has been dispatched to at least one report of a stuck elevator.
