Power Outage - 12/15/09

At about 3:00 pm yesterday afternoon, during a required electrical cut-over associated with utility work on the North Marina Combined Projects, Puget Sound Energy’s load breakers were tripped resulting in a power outage at the Marina and one of the neighboring condos. PSE had service restored to the condo by approx. 4:30 p.m. There was a small amount of damage to PSE’s permanent electrical facilities that needed to be fixed before power could be restored to the Marina. Those repairs were completed and power turned back on in the Marina about 9:30 p.m. The Marina’s electrical contractors have made the necessary adjustments to the Marina’s switch gear that should prevent similar incidents in the future.
