In all, 5,135 customers will be impacted and will receive notification phone calls from the PUD leading up to the outage.
The outage will allow utility crews to begin a large-scale project which will involve moving poles off of state Route 105, as required by the Washington State Department of Transportation.
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 duration of six hours is only an estimate and power could be restored at any time as work is completed. Therefore, it is not safe to do electrical work or repairs during that time.
