SCE outage mix-up cleared

A notice that Southern California Edison (SCE) customers in the Florence-Firestone area received about a planned power outage on Jan. 20 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. is apparently a mix-up, and in fact the routine maintenance will not happen that day but will take place on Wednesday Jan. 21. A SCE spokesperson also said that all routine outages (except for emergency work) planned for Jan. 20 will be deferred. For more information about the outage, call SCE at (888)759-6056.
