SCE Conducts Routine Power Outage on March 10th Affecting the East Side of Las Lomas

Some 304 homes and nine commercial uses in Duarte will be without electrical power for 9 hours between 8 a.m. and 5:00 pm on Wednesday, March 10th due to a planned power outage for maintenance by Southern California Edison.

SCE notified city officials and mailed notices to every affected household and business of the intended shutdown. Edison describes boundaries for the planned outage as “Las Lomas Road East Side, 170 Feet North of Huntington Drive”. According to SCE, the outage will allow the utility to upgrade aging infrastructure, make needed improvements, and complete other repairs in preparation for the addition of the new Ambrus circuit.

To prepare for the planned outage, SCE advises customers to shut off or disconnect all sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers and fax machines, before the outage begins. Notify security and/or phone companies that provide businesses with service as the outage will affect alarm systems and may affect private phone systems. Customers should make sure that they can override or manually operate their security gates. If customers plan to operate an emergency generator, notify SCE before the outage so SCE can protect its employees from possible electrical back feed. To notify SCE of a generator, call 1-(800) 990-7788.
