HAMILTON — The Williams Avenue Feeder was re-energized by City of Hamilton electric personnel, restoring power to 2,000 customers near the Williams Avenue, University Boulevard and Zimmerman Avenue locations in Lindenwald.
"The Williams Avenue feeder took a lightning strike," said Steven Fields of the City of Hamilton's electric department. "Protective devices open and lockout to prevent damage to the electric system. This circuit only feeds the Lindenwald area."
