Monitoring - **Substation Update: Fuse Replaced, System Under Active Monitoring** Heavy electrical load caused a fuse to blow at the local substation earlier today. Crews have replaced the fuse, and our team is actively monitoring the system to ensure the fix holds under current conditions. With extreme heat, heavy air conditioning use, and peak evening energy demands straining the local grid, the system remains under high pressure. To help keep power stable and prevent another outage while we monitor performance, please minimize unnecessary electricity use during these peak hours..

Duration: 10 hours and 50 minutes

Affected Components: Electric Utility

Jun 20, 02:05:00 GMT+0
Investigating - We are investigating a partial electric outage within the Village. Bunting / Beach Dr area. We also have a tree to address on a secondary line to a customer but no outage..

Jun 20, 12:55:00 GMT+0
Resolved - This incident has been resolved. Field Action: Exhaustively patrolled lines on foot and by truck from approximately 9:00 PM to 1 AM. Checked all spans, creek crossings, and terminations. Found no branches, crossed wires, or physical faults. Disconnected the transformer near the lightning strike, but the 25A fuse continued to blow. Performed a second comprehensive physical line inspection during daylight hours before attempting further re-energization; confirmed zero physical hazards or line contact present. Conclusion: The nearby lightning strike did not cause physical damage, but it severely unbalanced the electrical charge on this portion of the system. Without a ground wire to bleed off that extra energy, closing the final door caused a massive, momentary surge of "charging power" that kept popping the tight 25A fuse. Fix: At 8:00 AM, stepped up to a 50A fuse to handle that initial startup surge and reversed the phase-closing sequence. The line stabilized immediately, restored power, and has been holding for 5+ hours..
