DPU News:
Officials from the Los Alamos Department of Public Utilities report that a power outage, which began at 3:52 p.m. Wednesday in the Eastern Area bounded by Myrtle Street, Rim Road and Canyon Road, affected 98 customers.
Power was restored by 4:45 p.m. to all but 20 of those customers. At 6:45 p.m., power was restored to the remaining 20 customers on Piñon Road and Rim Road.
An underground line fault at Piñon Road caused the electric interruption.
DPU officials also noted that this outage was caused by aging underground infrastructure and is not related to the construction work underway in the Eastern Area.
Power outage status and notifications were provided to inquiring customers by 311 Customer Care Center staff and to online customers and registered cell phone customers via DPU’s Facebook and Twitter at www.facebook.com/DPU1968 and https://twitter.com/DPUAlerts
