LADWP: Crews Prepared for Forecasted Rain, Snow and Windstorms throughout Inyo and Mono Counties, Reminds Public of Dangers of Downed Wires
February 1, 2024
LADWP Owens Valley electric crews are prepared to respond to any potential power outages that may occur as the first forecasted atmospheric river storm could bring winds of 35-50 miles-per-hour in parts of the Owens Valley and up to three feet of snow in higher elevations.
LADWP will monitor the storm system closely and respond accordingly, with the ability to schedule crews to be available around the clock as needed from both our aqueduct operations and power system divisions.
Our Owens Valley customers can report power outages by dialing 1-800-992-8331 (Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) and (833) 325-2397 after hours.
Never approach or touch any wire that is down or dangling and immediately report it by calling 9-1-1.
Please exercise increased caution and be safe out there!
