Planned power outage scheduled for 700 PG&E customers between 3 counties

NORTHSTATE, Calif. — More than 700 PG&E customers, between three counties, will be without power for several hours on Saturday, Feb. 17, as the utility makes improvements.

PG&E says the outage is necessary for crews to safely replace two power poles, reroute a power line, as well as to prune trees near power lines.

The eight-hour daytime outage will impact 707 customers in the following areas:

Customers living in those areas can expect power to go out around 9 a.m. and return by 5 p.m.

“We have arranged to keep this planned power outage as short as possible and to occur at a time that we hope will cause only a minimal inconvenience to customers while we perform important work to ensure safety and reliability,” said Joe Wilson, Regional Vice President of PG&E’s North Valley and Sierra Region.

Those who will be impacted were notified with a letter and should expect to receive an automated phone call as well. Additionally, PG&E says its notified officials and emergency agencies to make sure they are prepared, too.
