LOCAL : 2,400 Affected by Power Outages
Sporadic power outages left about 2,400 utility customers in hillside areas of Studio City and Hollywood without electricity early today, the Department of Water and Power said.
An unknown problem in an underground line began disrupting power from a distribution station in the 8700 block of Mulholland Drive on Tuesday evening, DWP spokeswoman Dorothy Jensen said. The problem was repaired by 7:45 a.m. today, she said.
The area affected by the outages in Studio City was north of Mulholland between Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Woodrow Wilson Drive in neighborhoods south of Ventura Boulevard, Jensen said. On the other side of the hill, the outages spread as far as West Hollywood.
Some areas lost electricity for as little as two minutes while other utility customers had intermittent outages from four to five hours.
