Planned power outage scheduled for Newskah Road in Aberdeen

The Grays Harbor PUD has scheduled a power outage beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 6, on Newskah Road.

The outage is expected to last until roughly 3 p.m. All impacted customers will receive a telephone message sent the day before the outage.

During the outage, PUD crews will disconnect power to Newskah Road in order to temporarily remove a portion of the distribution line to allow a logging contractor to safely perform tree removal in that area.

In preparation for this outage, customers are advised to take precautions with any electronic equipment such as computers, televisions and microwaves by unplugging those items. You should leave them disconnected until after the power has been fully restored.

The outage time of six hours is only an estimate, and power could be restored at anytime as work is completed. Therefore, it is not safe to do electrical work or repairs during that period of time.
