Power restored to Elkton/Scottsburg residents

An hours long power outage for approximately 1,100 Douglas Electric Cooperative customers has been resolved, the company announced Monday afternoon.

Power was disrupted in the Elkton and Scottsburg areas around 8 a.m. Monday after a logger inadvertently dropped a tree on to the power company’s distribution line. The repair site was off-road and difficult to access, which led to the more than four-hour disruption.

Crews were able to fix the issue for all customers shortly after noon.
