If you look up at the utility poles you'll see what look like big segmented ceramic pieces on certain ones. These are fuses and I'd bet that one of them in the transmission line to your circuit is blown.
If you spot one that's either singed or cracked then you've found the culprit. Should you find one, the pole will have a metal plate with a bunch of numbers on it. Write them down then call the electric company, give them the numbers and tell them you think you've spotted a blown line fuse.
Once they check it out it's a 3 minute job to replace it.

The one with the small wires at the top and bottom is the fuse.
