TEHACHAPI, Calif. — Southern California Edison notified the Stallion Springs Community Services District that the current outage impacting thousands of customers is not due to a Public Safety Power Shutoff but from another source, according to the district.

Edison reported that the outage happened Friday around 4:30 p.m. It originally estimated restoration by Friday evening, but power won't be restored until 2 a.m. Saturday.

SCE technicians have responded to the scene. The source of the outage has not been determined at this time.
