Power outage affected Lake Keowee homes

As many as one thousand-plus Duke customers in the Lake Keowee area spent part of Friday afternoon without electric power service.  Affected were customers in the vicinity of 188 and the Lakeside Drive sections near the lake.  A Duke spokeswoman traced the outage to a motor vehicle accident, but at least a couple of customers weren’t so sure.  They thought something may have fallen onto a power line and created a nearby grass fire.
