Mylar Balloons Cause Brief Power Outage In Chillicothe

About 2300 CMU Electric Customers were without power Sunday afternoon for about 15 minutes.  CMU Electric Services Director Casey Johnson says the outage at about 3:00 pm was the result of Mylar balloons that had gotten into the powerlines and caused a short.

The balloons were removed and power was restored.
