An outage affecting 153 customers was first reported at 9:08 a.m. in Rincon, Pauma Valley and Valley Center. Power is expected to be restored by 12:30 p.m., according to SDG&E.

The cause of all three outages has not been determined.

SDG&E said power should be restored around 11:30 a.m. Monday for 98 customers in Sorrento Valley, Torrey Pines and University City, after an outrage that began on late Sunday evening, in connection with a need to repair equipment.

KPBS has created a public safety coverage policy to guide decisions on what stories we prioritize, as well as whose narratives we need to include to tell complete stories that best serve our audiences. This policy was shaped through months of training with the Poynter Institute and feedback from the community. You can read the full policy here.
