The outage is under investigation.Â
Meanwhile, NV Energy reported a power outage around 8:45 a.m. that at one point affected 1,500 customers across Washoe County. Less than 275 customers are currently without power. The outage remains under investigation.
The biggest outage is reported in the 89502 zip code, near Mill Street and McCarran Blvd. where 2 News Nevada is located. Our building sustained two power hits, but we cannot post to affected online platforms Facebook and Instagram.
