The latest shut off is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the Seaview area, and comes one day after residents in 140 homes in the Portuguese Bend community lost their electricity and remain under an evacuation warning.
The city said the power will be discontinued for "varying lengths of time," including:20 properties will be without power indefinitely.
"SCE has seen a significant increase in the number of repairs needed to keep the power on safely, and we need to perform critical work,'' the utility company told residents. "We are unable to effectively monitor the situation because of the land movement in the area.''One resident who decided to evacuate shared new concerns, including the fear of potential looters and businesses who may be looking to prey on victims.
Hahn repeated her call for Gov. Gavin Newsom to personally visit the area, and said she had committed another $5 million in county funds to respond to the disaster, though far more funds would be needed. Rancho Palos Verdes City Manager Ara Mihranian said Sunday that three generators were procured by residents and installed by city officials to power the area's sewer system.
The land movement has also caused water and gas distribution pipes to break, displaced sanitary sewer collection pipes and made utility poles lean.
