PG&E Sets PSPS for Danville
Power shutoff set for 10/14 affects 1,850 homes

The PSPS event is set to begin between 6;00 - 8:00 p.m. Oct. 14, 2020 with residents affected in the area near Diablo Road. According to PG&E’s website, power restoration is expected to begin at approximately 10:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 15, 2020.
