Pacific Power is upgrading equipment this month and that means some people who live along Summitview Avenue in Yakima will have their electricity interrupted Wednesday, May 6 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Pacific Power officials say the outage will affect customers who live along Summitview  from 40th Avenue to 60th Avenue and north to include addresses on Uplands Way, Snowmountain Road and Avalanche Avenue.

"We want to thank our customers ahead of time for their patience," said Bill Clemens, regional community manager. "Upgrading the substation equipment will improve reliability and should make for fewer and shorter outages in the future."

If customers have questions about the planned outage, they can call Pacific Power at 1-888-221-7070. Any outages during that time in other parts of the community should continue to be reported to Pacific Power at 1-877-508-5088.
