[Updated] 200 East Village ConEd customers without power

We've heard from a few readers around East Sixth Street and Avenue C who lost their power late last night.

According to the ConEd outage map, there's a "manhole problem":



The estimated power return is 11 a.m.

Updated 9:30 a.m.

East Sixth Street between Avenue B and C is currently closed... and there are at least 15-18 ConEd trucks on the scene...





Updated 11:34 a.m.

ConEd is now estimating that the power will be restored by 3 p.m.



Updated 2:30

We're told that ConEd has restored the power.

    Sixth street? You were warned! Someone was using running the air conditioner, the microwave and blow dryer at the same time.

    I think Con Ed is also cutting back supply. "Browning" out the neighborhood. My appliances and electrical equipment aren't operating properly....
