Power is back on after a major outage affected the west side of South Lake Tahoe Sunday afternoon.
ORIGINAL STORY:
Officials say that a major power outage is affecting the west side of South Lake Tahoe.
The South Lake Tahoe Police Department says that the outage started around 12:45 p.m. and has affected traffic lights in several areas on that side of town.
They want to remind drivers to treat any unpowered traffic lights as a stop sign, and to use extra caution when driving in the area.
Currently, there is no update as to when power will be restored.
SLTPD officers are working with Caltrans and Public Works to get stop signs placed at intersections with affected traffic lights, but say that the process will take time.
