COUNTY News:

Los Alamos Department of Public Utilities (DPU) reports early this morning that residents and businesses in the areas around Trinity Drive between Oppenheimer and Sandia, including Western Area, are without power. Pajarito Ski Hill also is in the dark.

DPU electric linemen have been dispatched and are investigating. They will try to separate the ski hill for repairs and bring the areas in the townsite back up first.

Safety is always DPU’s top priority in efforts to bring power back.
