Daily Camera · last updated

Thousands of Boulder residents were without power Tuesday morning during at least the third outage in the area in nine days.

Tuesday morning’s outage was caused by a bad cable, according to Xcel Energy spokesperson Michelle Aguayo. The outage lasted 48 minutes and impacted 4,750 customers, Aguayo said.

The west Boulder area experienced at least two other power outages last week. Power went out in the Chautauqua area for about 33 minutes the morning of Sept. 22, impacting 3,583 customers, according to Aguayo.

A few days later, 3,425 customers in the University Hill area lost power for about three hours beginning at 4:10 p.m., according to Aguayo. Aguayo said an equipment issue caused Thursday’s outage.

No cause was found for the Sept. 22 outage.
