UPDATE - 11:02 AM: Pepco has restored partial power to the affected area; less than 5 customers are still without power. The utility has revised its restoration time to 7:00 PM for those customers. There is now a new outage in the area of St. Elmo Avenue. Pepco's response there is "pending," according to the utility's website.
UPDATE - 2:02 PM: CVS Pharmacy has reopened.
A Pepco crew has been on the scene at CVS Pharmacy at 7809 Wisconsin Avenue since late Monday night. The utility's website states that a transformer failure in the vicinity is currently believed to be the cause of a power outage there, with less than ten customers affected in total. One of those customers is the CVS Pharmacy, which is usually open 24 hours, but was closed last night. The store's lighted signage was flashing on and off, as were the interior lights. Pepco is hoping to have power restored between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM this morning.
