Since the start of the storm Friday, crews restored power to more than 98,000 customers, the utility said. Repairs are still underway.
Many of the incidents crews were working to repair involved high winds and heavy rains toppling trees and taking down power poles and power lines, officials said. These require tree clearing and removal, which takes time and slows outage restoration work. Crews are prioritizing restoration work involving broken or downed power poles and power lines as those incidents pose a public hazard.
Some of the outages are a result of flooding and water intrusion into underground electrical systems. When the affected equipment is underground, crews must go from vault to vault to identify the source of the damage before repairs can take place, which can also be time-consuming. “We want our customers who are without power to know that we are working as hard and safely as we can to get your power restored and we appreciate your patience,” said Brian Wilbur, the utility’s senior assistant general manager. “High winds and heavy rain like we experienced can cause significant damage, but our crews continue to make steady and strong progress and will work around the clock until everyone is back on.
Anyone experiencing an outage was encouraged to report it at www.ladwp.com, or by calling 1-800-DIAL-DWP .— Use a flashlight instead of candles, as a light source.— Once your power is restored, it may require you to reset your circuit breaker for the lights to come back on.— Check on vulnerable friends and neighbors to make sure they are safe.
Meanwhile, Southern California Edison’s outage map showed 33 outages affecting more than 4,800 customers in Los Angeles County as of 11 a.m. Sunday, and five outages in Orange County affecting more than 1,300 customers.
