Hollywood Power Outage: Over 400 Still Without Power

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Much of Hollywood still remains without power, due to a power failure at an underground utility site that started on Sunday morning. As of Tuesday morning, LADWP was unable to provide an estimated time of repair, saying another fault happened when testing to restore power.

LADWP initially expected to finish repairs by 6 a.m. Monday morning, but said the complex nature of the failure added extra delays.

"When testing to restore power, another fault occured at a new location on the circuit, requiring additional repairs," LADWP said. "We regret that restoration didn't occur as expected at 6AM and will share info as we receive it."

At least 400 people were left without power due to the outage, although power has been restored to an unknown number of customers.

"Crews worked overnight and continue to make repairs regarding outage in Hollywood area," LADWP said this morning. "This involves underground work and complications require more time."
