Xcel Energy crews shut off power in Denver neighborhood to install new powerlines

On Friday, crews with Xcel Energy shut off power to a neighborhood so they could install new powerlines. The work near Alameda and Monaco Street was initially scheduled for last month

Crews pushed back the work multiple times because of a heat wave. Some Jewish groups also objected to having work conducted on the Sabbath. 

The outage began at 8 a.m. Friday and Xcel told CBS News Colorado that they added extra crews and were able to resume power just before 1 p.m.
