October 26, 8:45 am - UPDATE REGARDING 10/26 PSPS EVENT IMPACTING THE CITY OF UKIAH
Residents in the City of Ukiah WILL be affected by the Public Safety Planned Power Shutoff (PSPS) event that is forecast to begin on Saturday, October 26. The de-energization of the system is expected to begin in the afternoon hours of October 26th. For City of Ukiah utility customers, even though the electricity will be off, water, sewer and garbage will continue to operate normally. Resi...dents should prepare for an electric outage that may last up to five days.
PG&E will open a “customer resource center” at 1775 North State Street, beginning at 8:00 am on Sunday, October 27th. On the days affected by the power outage, the center will be open between 8am and 8pm. The center provides restrooms, bottled water, electronic device charging and air-conditioned seating.
This information differs from prior releases. The City of Ukiah has been tracking this PSPS event for many days and, based on information from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), had a high level of confidence that Ukiah would not be impacted up until approximately 5:00 pm on Friday, October 25th. This PSPS event is the result of a combination of a dangerous weather event with high winds and heat and the damaging impacts of the Kincade Fire in the Geyserville area.
Inoperative traffic signals caused by the power outage need to be treated as a four-way stop. The City of Ukiah urges the community to drive slowly and carefully.
