PFLUGERVILLE, Texas (KXAN) — Around 630 Oncor customers were affected by a power outage in Pflugerville that started Monday evening, according to Oncor officials.
At approximately 7:40 p.m. Monday, crews responded to hundreds of outages in the area. Power was estimated to be restored by 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.
However, officials said the cause for the outage was underground facilities that needed repair, so the repairs took longer to find and fix.
