Ngắt Điện An Toàn Công Cộng của PG&E (PSPS)

Đó là tin tức. Nhiều năm qua, California đã phải đối mặt với cháy rừng dữ dội và chết chóc. Trong năm 2019, PG&E đã chuẩn bị kế hoạch ngắt điện đến các thành phần trong cộng đồng của chúng ta để đề phòng hỏa hoạn trong điều kiện thời tiết nhất định. Ngắt Điện An Toàn Công Cộng (PSPS) này có thể ảnh hưởng đến khả năng cung cấp nước của San Jose Water đến nhà hoặc công ty của quý vị.

Cortes de Energía de Seguridad Pública de PG&E (PSPS)

En todas las noticias podrá encontrar que el estado de California ha enfrentado varios años de enormes y mortales incendios forestales. Para el año 2019, PG&E ha diseñado un plan para cortar la energía eléctrica en ciertas partes de nuestra comunidad como un método de precaución contra incendios forestales bajo ciertas condiciones climáticas.
