JANESVILLE—A squirrel in overhead power lines caused an outage on the city’s east side early Wednesday afternoon.

Alliant Energy crews were called to the 1700 block of Hancock Lane at 12:06 p.m. after residents in the neighborhood reported a loud bang then lost power.

The one hour and 15 minute outage impacted 1,668 Alliant Energy customers.

you have to remember not to believe everything you see in the newspaper. Call Alliant Energy or e-mail them if your power is still off.
Also, you dont want to get in a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel!
