UPDATE (2:32 p.m.):

Tucson Electric Power offered information on why the power went out along Swan Road Wednesday morning.

According to spokesperson Joseph Barrios, crews found a damaged pole near Swan and Speedway, where two conductors (wires) made contact, tripping a substation breaker.

Barrios said crews were able to restore service after field employees rerouted power by switching customers to other circuits.

All customers were back in service by 9 a.m., Barrios said.
