City of Fillmore Posted Monday at 8:39 a.m. on The City of Fillmore Facebookpage: We understand the inconvenience of having your power turned off, and the frustration of not knowing when it will be restored. Power could be shut off for hours or days, depending on weather conditions. Southern California Edison (SCE) determines when power is turned off and when it is safe to turn power back on. If you have questions, please contact Southern California Edison (SCE): 1-800-655-4555 or 1-800-611-1911, or visit www.sce.com/psps. Again, these determinations are made by SCE. The City Council is very concerned about these power shut-offs and has contacted SCE and your California State Representatives about this situation. SCE publishes the outages on this website: www.sce.com/PSPS. Scroll down to “Ventura County” and click on any PDF that says “Fillmore” to find out which circuits are being affected. After SCE issues the notice, Ventura County Office of Emergency Services updates this resource with info from SCE: https://www.vcemergency.com/. Click on the map. Enter your address into the interactive map to find out which circuit you are in and if you are currently affected by a PSPS. Register for emergency notifications at https://www.vcemergency.com/ Register for power outage notifications at www.sce.com/PSPS. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION: CITY HALL, FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENT: Will remain open. TRAFFIC SIGNALS: With possible power outages in our community, please expect that traffic signals within the outage area may lose power. In that case, all vehicles are to treat the intersection as an all-way stop, per state law. Stay alert and be patient while driving. SPECIAL MEDICAL NEEDS: All residents, including those who need continuous power for special medical equipment, are strongly encouraged to visit www.sce.com/PSPS, or call (800) 655-4555, and update their emergency contact information with SCE. |
