Southern California Edison has planned power outages in Idyllwild between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 20. According to Edison media representative Louis Davis, 81 local customers received notification yesterday that power may be off for the whole period or may be turned off more than once throughout the day in the neighborhood of Cedar Glen Drive and Highway 243.
Davis said that extensive work is planned in the area involving electrical poles that need to be changed out “before the winter storms because they are in pretty bad shape.”
However, weather forecasts show a storm front coming in with the possibility of heavy snow in Idyllwild on Wednesday.
Davis said that crews are prepared to do the work as scheduled, “unless the weather is severe and unsafe for our guys to work.” When asked about the fact that residents could be left without heat during a winter storm, Davis said, “I’ll be keeping an eye on the entire region, especially Idyllwild.” He said he would contact the Town Crier on Tuesday, to confirm if the power outages would occur as planned.
Do you have boundaries or a map of the outage area? Can you post that?
