UPPER LAKE – A downed wire resulted in hundreds of Upper Lake residents going without power for several hours on Sunday evening.

The outage began at approximately 5:34 p.m. Sunday and lasted until 12:36 a.m. Monday, according to Pacific Gas & Electric spokesman JD Guidi.

Guidi said 569 customers were without power during that time.

A failed insulator led to the issues with the wire, which was reported down at 615 E. Highway 20, Guidi said.
