Flickering power outages plaguing residents and businesses in Grosse Pointe Woods Sunday is the result of a problem with a circuit breaker and underground cable.
DTE crews temporarily fixed a problem at one of the Grosse Pointe Woods substations Sunday and began work today on a permanent fix after residents and businesses experienced scattered power outages Sunday.
