Power restored to all Liberty Utilities customers in Lake Tahoe

Power is back on to the 136 customers in the River Road area off of SR-89 after last week's storm severely damaged power lines.

"We also want to sincerely thank those hardy customers for their patience and understanding during this multi-day outage until we could reach and repair the severe damage caused by the winter storms. At this time, most if not, all customers should have power restored," said Liberty Utilities spokesperson Kathy Carter.

The utility company is advising people who have not had their power restored by tonight to check their service panel for potential damage as a repairman may need to be called.

New storms are expected to roll in again Wednesday with wind gusts of 100 mph+ at the ridges, and Carter encourages customers to be prepared for power outages that may result.

If you have an emergency situation that is life threatening please call 911.
