This message is being sent on behalf of the City of Palo Alto Utilities Department.
We are aware of a power outage currently affecting some of our customers. Utilities Department staff are already taking steps to address the outage.
Please do NOT call 9-1-1 or the non-emergency numbers to either the Police Department or the Fire Department to report the power outage or to ask questions about it. This will unnecessarily tie up the phone lines, and dispatchers do not have any information about the outage.

No Twitter account is necessary to read their updates; simply go to that website and refresh the page periodically to read any new messages.
