We apologize for any inconvenience.  Our records show momentary disturbances in the flow of power to 881 customers [in the Northwind & Magledt Road areas], 21234 on 10/14 and 10/15.  Due to the way our system was set up, these outages were able to be automatically restored ensuring our customers only had to endure a momentary outage instead of a longer outage. We were unable to confirm the exact cause of the recent momentary outages in the area.
