St. George residents say they’ve been without running water since Saturday. That’s after a fuel barge delay and stormy weather caused widespread power outages and forced residents to ration heat in their homes amidst freezing temperatures.“Whatever led up to the situation where all the sudden we don't have any fuel in the dead of winter, and with all these storms coming through, is beyond me,” said St. George resident Victor Malavansky. “I would like to say this is totally unacceptable.”

A power outage caught Unalaskans by surprise Thursday evening when most of the island went dark.According to the island’s acting public utilities director, Steve Tompkins, a failed transformer caused the outage, which occurred around 5:30 p.m. and lasted nearly five hours.“Initial indications were that a unit had tripped offline,” Tompkins said. “And it caused an overload on the other unit, which took itself offline. And it resulted in a near universal outage.”Standard Oil Hill was the only area on the island that didn’t lose power during the first outage, he said.
