On Monday morning, the town of Andale had a power outage — which ended up having quite a lasting impact of some businesses in the small town. Business owners said around 8 a.m., the entire town of Andale went dark with the unexpected power outage. With subzero temps, Steve Hilger, the owner of Small Business Auto Repair said his efforts to save some of his plumbing came to a sudden halt. “The lights went out but we were already fighting frozen pipes so we were getting the heaters going and then when it blacked-out we were like well that will be the nail in the coffin I suppose,” Hilger said. Hilger said when the power was out, his phones didn’t work, so people who needed emergency repairs couldn’t get through.
