UPDATE 7:30 P.M.
Liberty Utilities has restored power to hundreds of customers in the Lake Tahoe area.
The company says there was a delay in restoring power for some customers near Tahoe City because the affected power poles were not accessible by car.
Crews had to hike out to the poles to work on them and restore everything.
UPDATE 3:00 P.M.
Liberty Utilities says the power outage still affecting about 480 homes is still active.
Officials say the reason for the delay is the affected powerline poles aren't accessible by vehicle. Technicians are having to hike with their gear to restore the powerline poles that are causing the outage.
Once technicians get there, they will have to climb the poles to fix the problem, which they say is going to "take some time."
