TRINIDAD, Colo. (KKTV) — A planned power outage is expected to begin Tuesday in Trinidad, according to city officials.

The City of Trinidad said the scheduled power outage is expected to begin at 5 p.m. and last through approximately 3 a.m. Power could return earlier if work is completed early.

According to city officials, the purpose of the outage is to replace aging infrastructure and ensure the long-term safety and reliability of the electrical system.

City officials suggest that residents charge phones and other essential devices, unplug sensitive electronics to prevent damage, keep fridge and freezer doors closed, use flashlights instead of candles for safety and check in on any neighbors who may need help.
