Power outage for one area of South Lake Tahoe

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - If you don't live on West, Lukins, Ward and the Venice Avenue area, you probably didn't even know there was a power outage in South Lake Tahoe.

Power went out about 11:47 a.m. on Friday, August 12, and it is estimated by Liberty Utilities to be restored by 4 p.m. according to a phone message customers received, though their website outage map now says 2:29 p.m.

There had been a report of a smoking power pole at the corner of 15th and Roger earlier in the day.
