Duarte Power Outage Update
Tues, July 22, 2008, 5:50pm
Darrell: Just finished speaking with David Ford with Edison. The Bateman Circuit experienced a lock out at approximately 4:30 pm leaving 1,613 customers without power. This circuit comes out of the Bradbury substation. The geographic area affected is east of Highland Ave., North of Huntington Drive, South of Beckville and West of Mountain. Edison crews are in route and there is currently no estimate on how long power will be down. The circuit is located both above and below ground. If the lock out occurred above ground, the repair should move quickly. If it is below ground, it will take considerably longer. |

Duarte Power Outage Update
Tues, July 22, 2008, 5:43pm
At 5:43 pm this evening, a transformer failed on
payne circuit out of the bradbury substation
affecting 2478 customers. At
6:03 pm, partial load was restored. The
number of customers whose power
was restored is unknown at this time. The
geographic area affected is
from ranchito to flood control and long canyon
road to eucalyptis way and
san pablo. Edison does not have an
estimated time as to when the full
load will be up. The good thing is that
they have identified the problem
area and Edison crews are either there or in
route. Additionally, it is an
overhead versus underground problem so repairs
are easier.
