FAYETTE COUNTY, GA — According to a Facebook post from the Coweta-Fayette EMC, power has been restored across parts of Fayetteville, Peachtree City, and surrounding areas after an “unfortunate squirrel” disrupted service at the substation.

The post stated, “Crews are about to get everything switched back on. The flash was caused by an unfortunate squirrel....” followed by the squirrel emoji and the flying dove emoji.

More than 3,000 customers of Coweta-Fayette EMC were without power Wednesday morning after a reported substation issue.

The substation is located off Joel Cowan Parkway. Repair crews worked to resolve the issue and utility officials asked residents for patience as teams assessed the damage and made the necessary repairs.
