About 9,000 households in Barrington and the nearby Massachusetts commnities of Seekonk and Rehoboth were without power for an hour today after National Grid experienced a line failure. The power went out at 12:45 p.m. after the failure at a substation on Mink Street in Seekonk, according to David Graves, a spokesman for National Grid. Power was restored at 1:45 p.m. It’s unclear what caused the line failure at the substation located between Routes 6 and 114, said Graves.
