Liberty Utilities does not anticipate implementing a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) for its customers in the Sierra. PG&E to the west of Lake Tahoe has implemented PSPSs and there was concern of Liberty customers that the same would happen around Lake Tahoe.
Below is what was posted to the Liberty Utilities social media channels and on our website. The weather situation and conditions are being monitored very closely and the public will be informed should things change.
"Liberty Utilities is NOT anticipating a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) at this time. We are monitoring weather and conditions on the east slope which differ from the PG&E territory to the west. Rest assured, should conditions change, we will communicate across all channels."
