Power failures hit Warwick Mall, 2 S. County sites

Power failures this afternoon are affecting Warwick Mall and some streets in the Ashaway section of Hopkinton. National Grid crews are on scene, said company spokesman David Graves.

A substation appears to be the source of the mall situation, and Graves said the National Grid crew is trying to figure out the problem. The failure happened about 4:10 p.m.

In Ashaway, at about 2:55 p.m., some 543 customers were without power because of a falling tree limb. Shortly before 5 p.m.,service is still out for customers on Potter Hill, Laurel Street and Maxson Street.

Earlier today, there were scattered power failures in Richmond and South Kingstown this morning, but Graves said power has since been restored. That had been attributed to a blown fuse on a power line.
