AUBURN — Equipment that fell from a power line in Auburn left residents in the southeastern portion of the city without electricity Saturday night.

Central Maine Power said the outage hit customers in New Auburn and Durham.

The outages were first reported around 8 p.m. CMP said it hoped to have power restored in a couple of hours.

A spokesman for CMP said the equipment fell from a utility pole at the corner of Elm and Main streets. He said it wasn’t clear what made the equipment fall.
