Over 200 Homes Without Power in Butler Township Tuesday Afternoon

Over 200 homes were without power Tuesday afternoon in Butler Township, Schuylkill County.


According to PPL, 230 customers were without power as of 3:30pm Tuesday.  We also heard reports this in the Germanville Road area outside of Lavelle.

The cause of the outage is due to a large tree that fell knocking down wires.

Power is expected to be restored by 6:30pm.

Ashland Fire Police have also been called to the area for traffic control.

Originally this was posted as a blown fuse.
