Early Monday turned into an unplanned blackout day for parts of Henderson, after a power outage swept through the Cadence neighborhood, cutting electricity to more than 1,300 customers and forcing Pinecrest Academy of Nevada's Cadence campus to cancel classes. Homes around Boulder Highway and Lake Mead Parkway went dark as families scrambled to adjust their morning routines while repair crews got to work.
Outage Details
NV Energy reported the outage just before 6:35 a.m., saying more than 1,300 customers were affected in the 89011 and 89015 ZIP codes near Boulder Highway and Lake Mead Parkway, according to News 3 Las Vegas. The utility attributed the outage to a "pole-mounted equipment failure" and, at the time of the report, had not posted an estimated time for full restoration.
School Impact
Pinecrest Academy of Nevada, Cadence lists its elementary campus at 225 Grand Cadence Drive and a secondary campus at 220 Taylor Street on the school website. School officials said the outage left the entire campus without power and canceled classes for the day, advising parents to monitor the school’s usual communication channels for updates and pick-up information.
