About 3,200 West Penn Power customers will be affected by a planned power outage today.
A spokesman says the Butler, Gibsonia, Saxonburg, and Valencia customers who will be impacted by the 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. outage have been informed by call or text.
The outage is required in order to address three projects including replacing an equipment rack in the Cooperstown substation, replacing a switch on a line, and upgrading another line from a single wire to a three-phase line for more reliable service.
Customers are asked to make sure contact information is updated through the company website because that’s how they will get in touch if an outage is being planned.
