The company reports that 52 still remain without lights along High Meadow Drive and Cabezut and Chaparral roads. The company has not released a cause yet but crews are at the scene of the outage.

The estimated time of repair for the remaining customers has been pushed back to sometime in the five o’clock hour.

The area impacted stretches from Sonora Hills to Quail Ridge Ranch and north of Highway 108. The utility relays that 91 customers spanning from High Meadow Drive to Cabezut Road and along Beckwith Circle down to Cedar Road are without lights.
