Vermont Business Magazine Green Mountain Power (GMP) crews restored power to about 35 customers in the Harvest Lane/Taft Corners area of Williston on the Fourth of July. A problem with an underground cable knocked out power around 10:45 in the morning, before the town's parade had concluded just up Route 2. Crews responded quickly and were able to safely restore power to all customers around 1 pm.
The Williston Police Department noted that some stop lights in the area were also knocked out during the outage. They did not report any accidents as a result.
During the outage, the GMP team also responded on scene to communicate directly by visiting many of the businesses including Home Depot, Walmart, and Gardener’s Supply.
