The outage began at 2:25 p.m., and power was restored at 3:49 p.m., according to PG&E spokesperson Tamar Sarkissian. The cause of the outage is currently unknown, and Sarkissian said in an email that it is under investigation.
“The safety of our customers and the communities we serve is our most important responsibility,” Sarkissian said in an email. “The cause is currently under investigation, and our focus right now is restoring our customers.”
