Update at 10:44 p.m.: While Tuolumne and Mariposa County PG&E customers had their power turned back on yesterday, nearly 200 customers in the Wilseyville area of Calaveras County had their electricity restored this morning after equipment damage. PG&E reports that personnel patrolling and inspecting power lines discovered damage on a section of line, forcing the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) to remain in place until a crew could make the needed repairs. The remaining 185 customers affected by the PSPS got their power restored about ten o’clock this morning, before the previously estimated time of noon. For more details on the PSPS, see below.
