Update: Power has begun to be restored.

An accident at 2914 13th Street, a delivery truck versus a pole, knocked out power on Monroe's east side, beginning around 9:45 a.m. on Friday, April 15. The driver backed into a pole between Southern Wisconsin (Cenex) Co-Op and Hope Community Church. The meter head on the pole was struck, which caused the outage. Alliant Energy is on scene.
