COUNTY News:

The Los Alamos County Department of Public Utilities (DPU) reports that after a power outage early this morning affecting the entire Los Alamos townsite, circuits 14, 17 and 18 are now energized, restoring power to Eastern Area and the downtown area.

Department of Public Utilities crews are investigating the cause of the outage.

Restoration of power to Western Area, North Mesa, Barranca Mesa and North Community may take several more hours.

Trees are down in both Los Alamos and White Rock and safety is DPU’s top priority in efforts to bring power back.
