TRAVERSE CITY -- Several businesses in downtown Traverse City lost power Saturday.
Callers first reported a partial power outage at 11 a.m., said Brad Purcell, system operator for Traverse City Light and Power.
Workers completely shut off power to make repairs to overhead utility lines, he said.
"There were some connections that needed to be changed, affecting the corner of Cass and Front (streets)," he said.
The power outage impacted several businesses in that area, Purcell said.
Workers restored electricity before 12:30 p.m., he said.
