Red Flag Warning in Effect for Drain Service Area

Due to hot, dry conditions and expected strong winds, the City of Drain has activated wildfire mitigation measures and set substation controls to their most sensitive settings.

This is not a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS), and customers should not notice any changes unless a fault occurs on a power line.

If an outage does occur, restoration may take longer than usual, as crews must inspect and clear lines before power can be safely restored.

Thank you for your patience as we take these precautionary steps to help reduce wildfire risk and protect our community.
