Downed power lines from last night’s snow disrupted the County’s 911 service.
The Smethport Fire Department is reporting that an outage at their station took the 911 service off-line shortly after 8 this morning. Penelec estimated that as many as 1500 homes lost power during the outage.
The power outage also forced Smethport schools to close for the day.
Penelec’s website reported that full service was restored around 9:30 this morning.
