Several thousand Durango-area residents lost power for at least 15 minutes Friday afternoon, including much of the city and north into the Animas Valley.

The outage occurred shortly after 2 p.m., and a large section of the Animas Valley remained without power as of 3:10 p.m.

La Plata Electric Association did not immediately return a phone call Friday seeking comment.

According to LPEA’s website, the outage impacted much of Durango and extended west in the Lightner Creek area and north into the Animas Valley almost to Rockwood.
