An outage cut power to nearly 200 Imperial Irrigation District customers in Coachella Friday.
The utility published a statement alerting the public at 7:45 a.m. Friday that an outage caused by “vehicle contact” was affecting the area. As of the initial statement, 169 customers had their power back, leaving 26 without electricity, officials said.
Multiple troubleshooters were on-site to address the issue, according to the agency. Shortly before 3 p.m., the IID released a follow-up statement announcing that power had been restored to the remaining customers.
The utility provides electricity to more than 150,000 customers in parts of Riverside and San Diego counties, as well as all of Imperial County.
