At one point Sunday, nearly 1,000 area residents were without power following an equipment failure on Halls Ferry Road.

Entery crews responded to the failure, which was reported on Halls Ferry Road, restoring power late Sunday night.

Homes along Fisher Ferry Road, Nailor Road and areas around those main thoroughfares were impacted. Some of the neighborhoods that lost power included Lake Park, Camelot and Timberlane.
