8/1/24:  Pacific Power Shutdown in RAIL Building 8:00 am – 3:00 pm 

Posted on by

Pacific Power is making repairs to an underground vault at the RAIL Building August 1, 2024 8:00 am- 3:00 pm. For this repair to happen they will need to shut the power off to the building. This should only affect the building with a slight interruption in power at the beginning and the end while the building generator cycles on and off. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause, however this shutdown is necessary for the repairs to be completed.

For questions or comments on this shutdown contact, Brandon Holden  at 541-737-8313.
