Southern California Edison (SCE) announced upcoming planned maintenance outages at the Nov. 1 City Council Study Session and offered an explanation for the outage on Oct. 24 that left more than 1,000 homes without power for several hours.
SCE Principal Manager Rudy Gonzales spoke to the visibly irate Councilmembers as part of an ongoing discussion to address the utility’s inconsistent history in the city. The Courier has reported on numerous power outages over the past several months, including one outage in the Trousdale Estates area that lasted for more than 24 hours during an intense heat wave in September.
