Power Outage Hits Hundreds on Capitol Hill, Hill East

More than 300 Pepco customers on Capitol Hill and in Hill East were without power for hours this morning.

The outage began about 5 a.m. and affected an area bordered roughly by 10th Street SE, G Street SE and the Anacostia River.

Tyler Elementary School at 1001 G St. SE lost power, but was able to open on time at 8:35 a.m. once service was restored, a school representative said.

Service was restored to most customers before 8:45 a.m., according to Pepco. Fewer than 10 customers were still without electricity at that time.
