An estimated 46,000 Los Angeles County residences were still without power Sunday night, according to the L.A. Department of Water and Power
“In the grand scheme of the world, this is so small potatoes,” Wachs said. “But I would like to think that our city could do better.” As of Sunday at 8 p.m., the DWP’s outage map indicated that 574 customers in Tarzana were without power, and it wouldn’t be restored until 2:30 p.m. the next day.
According to the DWP’s website, customers can expect crews to respond within 24 to 48 hours, but the utility also says that it may take longer to restore their power than the maps indicate. “As our work crews navigate through downed trees and power lines to restore service, the estimated restoration times provided on our outage map may not reflect current field conditions and the work that must be done to make repairs,” the agency tweeted Sunday afternoon.
Other outages were caused by flooding of underground electrical systems. Crews must go from vault to vault to identify the source of the damage, “which can also be time-consuming,” the utility said. “We know that this is frustrating and we appreciate your patience as we work to restore service.” For her part, Wachs said she knows that the DWP can’t perform miracles. “I get it, it’s a lot and it’s hard,” she said. “But they saw this coming. Can’t they go into overdrive a little bit?”
