City officials still are looking for the culprit to a computer failure prompting a power outage that left some area residents without electricity for more than eight hours overnight.
Iola City Administrator Carl Slaugh said the outage started shortly after 8:30 p.m. Wednesday and didn’t end for some residents in Gas until 5 a.m. today.
The outage occurred after Iola crews began generating electricity at 8 p.m. Wednesday to accommodate work at the city’s substation in Bassett.
