Officials have determined that a fallen tree caused the Kootenai Electric Cooperative outage around 2 p.m. Sunday. The outage primarily affected customers in Hayden and lasted approximately two hours before service was restored to all around 4 p.m. 

"We understand the impact outages can have on our members, particularly during dry and hot conditions, KEC spokesperson Erika Neff said. "KEC works to minimize the number and duration of outages. Our top priority is the safety of our community."
