The outage was blamed on a snapped utility pole outside the Avalon Court Apartments on Bristol-Oxford Valley Road in Bristol Township’s Levittown section.

Firefighters were called to the area around 6:45 p.m. for downed wires.

It was not immediately clear what caused the pole to snap. However, there was rain and strong winds at the time.
