Brief power failure hits Barrington, Seekonk, Rehoboth

About 9,000 households in Barrington and the nearby Massachusetts commnities of Seekonk and Rehoboth were without power for an hour today after National Grid experienced a line failure.

The power went out at 12:45 p.m. after the failure at a substation on Mink Street in Seekonk, according to David Graves, a spokesman for National Grid. Power was restored at 1:45 p.m.

It’s unclear what caused the line failure at the substation located between Routes 6 and 114, said Graves.
