Hundreds in Columbia lose power again Tuesday
An estimated 1,241 homes and customers lost power during hot and sticky temperatures Tuesday in southwest Columbia.
ABC 17 News viewers reported outages just before noon.
ABC 17 News confirmed with Columbia Water & Light that an insulator failed on an overhead line and burned an underground line located in a vault on Forum, near Green Meadows.
It covers the same area that experienced issues with its substation during the Fourth of July holiday weekend storms.
