Power outage planned for Corfu this afternoon - UPDATED

By Howard B. Owens

The dispatch center was just informed that because of unspecified technical problems, National Grid is planning to cut power to the entire Village of Corfu at 4:30 p.m.

The outage will effect businesses, residence and street lights.

The person informing dispatch said, "unless the problem gets worse and they need to cut power sooner."

He requested traffic control for Main and Route 77 during the outage.

UPDATE 4:28 p.m.: No power outage will be necessary to fix the electrical problem this afternoon, according to National Grid.

The transformers can be switched out, replacing the broken one, without power loss.

Do you know how far this outage will extend? Will it be experienced north of the thruway (we are still considered Corfu up that way)? Also, did they say how long the power would be interrupted?? Thanks!
