Power went out in the Barron Park area of Palo Alto around 1 p.m. Sunday, impacting about 2,500 customers, according to a tweet from City of Palo Alto Utilities.
The cause is "most likely" a mylar ballon that hit utility wires, the Utilities Department stated.
Crews are working to restore electricity, a task that is expected to take a few hours, the department stated.
A map of the outage can be found on the city's Utilities website.
The map shows that about 22% of customers in the section of the city roughly bounded by Middlefield Road, Foothill Expressway, San Antonio Road and Page Mill/Oregon Expressway, plus the College Terrace and Southgate neighborhoods, have been affected.
