More than 16,000 households and businesses were left temporarily in the dark Saturday by a power outage in parts of Koreatown, Hollywood and Silver Lake, utility officials said.
There were also reports of some traffic lights going out in Koreatown.
The power failure was initially reported about 7 a.m. after a mechanical problem at an area distributing station, which then affected another station, said Joe Ramallo, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
