The City of Mountain View is aware that more than one thousand Mountain View residents are without power as today’s storm brought heavy rain and strong winds to the Bay Area. As of 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 21, there are approximately 1,370 PG&E meters in Mountain View without power. Most power outages are in the Monta Loma Neighborhood, Rex Manor Neighborhood, Old Mountain View Neighborhood and the North Bay Shore.

The City has been in contact with PG&E representatives and urged them to get the power restored as quickly as possible for our community. PG&E told the City that they are actively working to restore services by replacing the broken power poles, down power lines and transformers throughout Santa Clara County. For power outage updates from PG&E, visit their Outage Center. The City will remain in frequent contact with PG&E as staff closely monitors the power outage situation.
