The remaining 1,680 customers were restored after 6 hours and 44 minutes.”

Police are helping with traffic control at several intersections in the Ballston area due to a power outage.
The outage was first reported just before 9 a.m. and follows last night’s widespread outage along the Lee Highway corridor.
