Tuolumne County, CA — PG&E reports that 368 customers have lost electricity in Tuolumne County near Tuttletown.
The outage started at around 7 am and the company emphasizes that it is an “unplanned outage.”
Adding, “Our team is evaluating the electrical system to identify damaged sections and make necessary repairs in order to safely turn the power back on.”
The company hopes to have the customers fully restored by 1:45 pm.
It is unrelated to the fire weather-related planned power outages in Northern California today. We reported earlier that Tuolumne, Calaveras, Amador and Alpine counties were removed from the planned outage list.
