Nearly 100 PG&E customers in Menlo Park were left in the dark Tuesday morning after an outage interrupted service near the Sharon Heights neighborhood, a PG&E spokeswoman said.         

The outage was reported at about 12:10 a.m., affecting 86 customers residing on Avy Avenue, near Sharon Hills Park, according to PG&E spokeswoman Jana Morris.

Morris said that crews were still investigating the cause of the outage at 4 a.m.

"They are walking the line of the circuit, from beginning to end, to see if there is something obvious causing the interruption," she said.
