Submitted by paula on Mon, 05/07/2018 - 7:25pm
5/8/16 update: The two planned outages will be in the Tahoe Valley area and Stateline area on Wednesday, May 9.
Tahoe Vista Drive (Tahoe Valley area), 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. to install new pole & transformer, 15 affected customers notified via door hanger today (5/8).
Stateline, Calif. area (Park Ave, Manzanita, Cedar, Azure, La Salle, Stateline Ave, Poplar, Lake Tahoe Blvd), 7:00 a.m. (changed from 6:99 a.m) and 9:00 a.m. for five minute duration each for NV Energy repairs; 133 customers affected; customers can call 1-800-782-2506 if they want to know if they will be affected.
NV Energy will be down intermittently in the Stateline, Nev. area from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Those customers have been notified and are the same ones who have been affected since the underground energy vault blew up.
A switch has to be opened upon the California side which de-energizes the system when open. Liberty has been told to open up at 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. but change in plans can occur. Updates will be posted to Twitter if this is the case.
