Residents of Arvada, mark your calendars and prepare for a bit of disruption this week. In an announcement made on the city's official website, a scheduled power outage has been planned for Wednesday, December 11, from 8 am to 11 am. This service interruption is necessary for Xcel Energy to perform necessary maintenance work, to improve long-term service reliability. If you live between 72nd Avenue and 76th Drive, Ward Road, and Oak Street, you're going to be affected.
According to the City of Arvada, the outage is expected to impact around 500 customers in the outlined area. Xcel is taking measures to notify those who will be without power during these hours. It's important to plan for the outage and consider how you might need to adjust your morning routine, particularly if you work from home or have small children. A few hours without electricity can be more than an inconvenience, so being prepared is key.
The utility company has advised residents to protect their electronic devices and appliances by unplugging them before the outage. This precautionary step can prevent any potential damage from power surges when service is restored.
