Power outage March 26/27

Nearly 690 Avista customers in the town of Odessa will experience a power outage from 10 p.m. Thursday, March 26, until 6 a.m. Friday, March 27. The outage is required for Avista crews to upgrade equipment in the substation at First Street and Duck Lake Road that serves the town.

During the outage, additional crews will be performing maintenance on power lines and equipment in Odessa. Both projects will improve the safety and reliability of Avista’s system, as well as help provide for growth in customer demand.

“We apologize for the inconvenience this outage may have on customers. We’ll work as quickly and safely as possible to complete the work and return customers to service,” said Cesar Godinez, Avista’s district manager for the Lincoln County area.
