TOOELE, Utah — Around 20,000 Rocky Mountain Power customers in Magna and Tooele County were without power early Wednesday morning.

Power crews reported the outages before 4 a.m. and said the cause for Tooele County customers was a damaged line in the area. The cause of the Magna outages was still under investigation.

Around 2,500 customers near Middle Canyon Elementary School were still without power in Tooele while a handful of smaller outages were affecting 63 customers in Erda and Stansbury Park.
