I like it, it's quiet. I think they are shutting down the golf course, and the little bed and breakfast got bought by a complete fraud who's "renting" rooms to junkies, claiming it's not a half way house, but a corporate resort... our crime has increased. Neighbors are working on getting it resolved.
Just get U.P.S. with enough output to keep everything alive while you shut down the genny and refill.
You would have really loved my male to male suicide plug directly into the standard outlet
Why not sue the city? Why do you want them to sue Edison. So that cost can be passed along to you the rate payers?
If they maintained their equipment we wouldn't be in this situation anyway, edisons words not mine. The dumbass turds voted for this state bill without reading the verbiage, I read it understood it and did not vote for it, I saw it as basically allowing a public utility a way out of doing what they should have been doing so we wouldn't have power interruptions or fires started by the utilities, now edison doesn't have to upgrade and maintain their shit because they can just shut it off when the wind blows, they get rewarded for doing a shitty job.
Yup out at 10:30Are you guys dead in the water? In laws at Royal/Sycamore lost power around 10am so when I got home from work took my EU2000 over there to dial them in. I was just about finished and the wife told me our power went out (around 7pm). F it...came home and fired up the motorhome gennie and now we’re camping in the back yard
I kid you not I live in the middle of the valley 1 mile from the closest brush with underground utilities and my power is off but there is overhead power lines running along side a road with brush below and nothing but brush down wind until you get to Agoura Hills and it's still on. I have complained about this and they don't care, they need boots on ground checking to make sure that what needs to be off is off and if it doesn't need to be off to turn it back on.
SCE don’t maintain infrastructure? That’s news to me!If they maintained their equipment we wouldn't be in this situation anyway, edisons words not mine.

They are the ones that went on record and said that, your bosses, basically they threw you guys under the bus but it's them and their bean counters that actually dropped the ball, you guys can only do so much with a dollar, if you see something that should get attention but they say no wait till it fails and move on to the next job then that's all you can do. Like I said it's not you, it's the guys way above you, you guys in the field do a great job with what you are given.
I'm just repeating what was said and that is what the rest of the public hears, we don't have enough staffing, then stop giving yourself (top brass) bonuses and hire more people then. I'm glad you found something and got it fixed, like I said you guys do a great job, I wish the people at the top would give you guys what is needed to bring the brush areas up to snuff so this shit will stop.
During my EC contracting days I worked with SCE & SDG&E engineers on various project infrastructure design, was always a pleasure.
With consideration to this rather new Public Safety Power Shutdown program that is currently affecting 16,000 SDG&E customers and a week ago had well over 70,000 without power. Checking all the area weather stations in the vicinity of where the PSPS are currently dark, I'm not seeing any wind speeds conditions that warrant any shutdowns yet this morning.
A lot of questions arise from customers in areas that are only dark because the supply line circuits at some point are routed through an area considered at risk, this probably being the case for 4waters in this thread. Generator sales is off the hook, people are doing stupid things, like running these generators inside their garages and suffering carbon monoxide poisoning, this PSPS is not a long term remedy, it's a knee jerk CYA reaction to some serious litigation that has affected the utilities insurance costs and ability to even obtain it. You can't continue to shut off power to hundreds of thousands of So Cal residents and not expect the shit to hit the fan over it. A storm is headed in your direction, what I don't know and what's needed is WHAT IS THE LONG TERM SOLUTION AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT ACHIEVING IT ??????
Have in-depth engineering studies been conducted in regards to circuit re-alignment to mitigate customer inconvenience for not-at-risk neighborhoods affected simply because their current feeders are routed through at-risk areas ? I know in San Diego, this is huge. There are numerous communities dark simply because the power lines supplying that area are routed over brush in another area.
Who has established the Criteria guidelines ? Because they seem rather excessive in many cases. These outages create a HUGE inconvenience for so many and these posted "Oh we're so sorry, but your safety comes first" bullshit notices tend to chap my aging ass more than losing the lights. It's a blatant move to keep them from getting their every loving asses sued off, so call it what it is.
Is there any oversight regulating these guidelines and monitoring the utilities as it pertains to these outages ? Or are the utilities just allowed to CYA at will, with minimal regard to the customer's needs ?
Are there engineering studies being conducted to identify ways power lines can be hardened so that going forward customers can expect fewer PSPS blackouts or is this a new reality ? With California being always striving to be at the forefront of environmental issues, I don't sere the reality of hundreds of thousands of customers lighting off their gasoline generators in order to keep the food from spoiling as a solution that will remain tolerable to public officials for long.
Many times in this thread " 3rd world country " has been mentioned or hinted at, because leaving hundreds of thousands of customers without power every time the wind blows offshore in Southern California is a ludicrous solution to what is little more than a mechanical problem. Seriously, a fucking 5th grader could explain to your engineers how to sufficiently harden the mechanicals, or mitigate the brush and trees where necessary, there's a million damned solutions available other than opening the big switches.
Not suggesting it's a single answer, each area might require different remedies, or circuit re-alignment, but there's far better solutions, I'm just not sure what's being done in that regard and what it's going to take to force the utilities to look beyond what's simply the easiest way to cover your collective asses.
This sir, is what's got your customer's so riled up, we're SORRY isn't going to cut it. Fucking FIX IT
I write this with all due respect to your position, this is obviously not on you, but way way up the chain, have a great day sir.

They are government regulated not sponsored. Regulators have a big say in what is done. If they freeze rates a utility can only work with the money coming in the door. They can only do what the state lets them do in clearing around lines and power stations etc
San Pasqual high school is where my knee got blown up during a game. Ruined my sports career path essentially
Then the utilities need to throw the politicians under the bus instead of always taking the blame, the politicians constantly throw the utilities under the bus, turn the tables, I'm all for these California politicians being exposed of the fraud they are involved in.
Regardless of experience this shit only happens in California. The fires started in my area by utilities happen way more often than they did 35 years ago and there is no more overhead utilities now that there was 35 years ago, Simi had had no new overhead utilities installed since 1970ish everything has been underground since, so if there are more fires with the same amount of overhead utilities then it comes down to maintenance or lack there of.
Hey man 2+2=4 I can see the problem
