Los Angeles, California – A severe windstorm has left 123,000 customers without power in the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s (LADWP) region, affecting a significant portion of its 1.5 million electric customers. Since the storm’s onset, power has been restored to 133,000 customers, with crews expected to respond within 24 to 48 hours to address ongoing outages.

In response to the power outages, LADWP has called for assistance from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and is collaborating closely with Southern California Edison to expedite the restoration process. Meanwhile, customers in the Pacific Palisades area, specifically in the 90272 zip code and surrounding areas north of San Vicente Blvd, have been issued a boil water notice due to compromised water quality following the storm.

Despite challenges posed by the windstorm, LADWP has activated its emergency protocols to ensure water supply preparedness in the Pacific Palisades region. Crews are diligently working to re-pressurize the water system and conduct necessary tests to confirm water quality, while also deploying tanker trucks to support firefighting efforts in the area.

As crews work tirelessly to address the aftermath of the storm, customers are advised to conserve water in the Westside region to contend with ongoing dry conditions and strong winds. The LADWP Emergency Center (EOC) remains operational around the clock to coordinate response efforts, urging customers to report any downed wires or related incidents promptly to ensure public safety.

Moreover, the storm update reveals the extensive impact on both single customer and area outages, highlighting the challenges faced in various city council districts across Los Angeles. North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, and other Valley communities have also experienced significant power outages, with crews working diligently to restore services and ensure the safety of residents.

In conclusion, the aftermath of the windstorm in Los Angeles has underscored the importance of preparedness and swift response in addressing power outages and water supply issues. LADWP continues its efforts to restore services efficiently while urging customers to remain patient and vigilant during this challenging time.
