ALERT

AUGUST 15, 2012 2:03PM: PG&E HAS NOTIFIED LMUD THAT THE CHIPS FIRE IS ONCE AGAIN ENDANGERING THE CARIBOU TRANSMISSION LINE.

AT THIS TIME LMUD IS EXPECTING POWER INTERRUPTIONS beginning as soon as 2:30pm and continuing for several hours up to and including this evening and into the night.

PG&E will attempt to switch the LMUD load to an alternate feed using the smaller hat creek line. The hat creek line has limited capacity and may not support LMUD’s entire load. Expect outages throughout the LMUD service territory.

LMUD will attempt to maintain critical load to the hospital and BUSINESSES; however residential load is expected to be interrupted.

LMUD ASKS THAT YOU TURN OFF OR UNPLUG ALL HOUSEHOLD EQUIPMENT – DOING SO WILL ALLOW LMUD CREWS TO BRING UP THE POWER FASTER AND MORE EFFICIENTLY WHEN THEY ARE GIVEN THE ALL CLEAR FROM PG&E.

DURING THIS TIME WHEN OUR POWER SUPPLY IS SUBJECT TO INTERRUPTION PLEASE BE PREPARED – KEEP ON HAND BOTTLED WATER, CANDLES, A FLASHLIGHT, BATTERIES AND EXTRA FOOD.

POWER UPDATES CAN BE FOUND ON LMUD’S WEB SITE, WWW.LMUD.ORG, OR THROUGH LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS. IF YOUR POWER IS INTERRUPTED AT ANY TIME PLEASE CONTACT THE LMUD CUSTOMER SERVICE HOT LINE AT 530-257-4174. THIS LINE IS MANNED 24 HOURS A DAY – HOWEVER DUE TO HIGH CALL VOLUME THIS LINE MAY BE BUSY – PLEASE BE PATIENT.
