The Southern California Edison (SCE) Power Outage of Thursday, August 22nd in Southeast Torrance and Lomita

Although power was restored to the approximately 2,400 residents of Southeast Torrance and Lomita,
there is a lingering problem with low voltage for some residents.   Readings in the range of 103 to 107
volts have been reported especially from 5PM to 9PM and again in the morning up to around 9AM.  The hot weather
brought the issue to a full rolling boil today with a number of residents calling me today to vent their frustration with Edison.
I contacted Scott Gobble, Region Manager, SCE, and he advised they are aware of the problem.  New
underground cables are being installed with a full resolution to the issue promised by Saturday, August 31st.

If your incandescent light bulbs, not the CFL bulbs, appear dim, it may due to low voltage.  You should
report it to SCE so they will know how widespread the problem is in our area.  Contact the SCE phone
number on your monthly statement.

 

John Bailey, President
