I've been in touch with our Public Works Director this afternoon about the power outage in Harrisonville. He has advised me that today's outage was caused by a tree limb that took out one circuit. 

Gratefully, all power has been restored. Thank you to our electric crew for once again working on our behalf in challenging circumstances.
