Power outage down to 75 customers			

	(COLUMBIA, MO) - As of 1:30 p.m. today, Columbia Water & Light
has restored electricity to all but 75 customers. High winds during a
storm on Sunday night caused 7,500 Columbians to lose their power.
	During times of multiple power outages, repairs to main
distribution line feeders are repaired before feeder lines to individual
customers. By prioritizing restoration efforts, the utility can restore
power to a greater number of people first. Columbia Water & Light staff
is hoping to have the power restored to the remaining customers by
Monday evening.
