JACKSON COUNTY, Ore. — A power outage six miles east of White City has left roughly 4,000 customers without power.

Pacific Power told NewsWatch 12 on Saturday that the cause of the outage is a substation issue and they are investigating further. The estimated restoration time is before 10:00 p.m.

This outage has caused some traffic delays in White City and Eagle Point, caused by traffic signal outages. The Oregon Department of Transportation says if a traffic signal is out, drivers should treat the intersection as if there were stop signs in all directions.
