Update: Widespread PG&E Outage In Calaveras County

Sponsored by:

Update: A power outage in Calaveras County impacting 4,181 customers has been repaired.

PG&E noted that the outage, which occurred just after 11:30 a.m., was related to a vehicle accident involving a power pole in Angels Camp near Bret Harte High so it was unrelated to the rolling Flex Alert outages that officials had been warning about.

The outage involved customers in parts of Angels Camp, Copperopolis, Vallecito, Douglas Flat, Murphys, and San Andreas.

Pacific Gas & Electric says the outage is unrelated to the rolling Flex Alert outages that officials had been warning about due to the prolonged excessive heat. It is impacting parts of Angels Camp, Copperopolis, Vallecito, Douglas Flat, Murphys and San Andreas. The cause is still under investigation and there is no estimated power restoration time yet.

The utility reports the lights went out for the impacted customers at 11:33 a.m. although some of the affected residents who contacted the NewsCenter reported getting alerts later than that.
