child-sized swimming pool got caught in electric power lines on Paseo San Luis and knocked out homes and businesses for about 30 minutes Monday afternoon.

Jack Blair, chief member services spokesman for Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative, said repair crews responded at about 4:30 p.m. after most of Sierra Vista's east side lost power.

"We have no idea how it happened, but a small swimming pool somehow got tangled in our lines and knocked out the electricity," Blair said.

Power was restored shortly after 5 p.m. to the area, Blair said.

There were outages in the Phoenix area a few nights ago due to a transformer.
