On February 24–25, Southern California Edison (SCE) will perform nighttime construction work to replace electrical transmission poles on El Centro Street between Glendon Way and Meridian Avenue. The work will require a street closure of El Centro Street and will be performed from 6am to 6am.

SCE will distribute flyers to neighborhood residents notifying them of the construction activity. Temporary power outages may occur as a result of the work. Customers impacted by the power outage will be notified by SCE in advance. This maintenance work is to ensure the continuity of a safe, reliable electrical system which serves the City of South Pasadena. Upon the completion of the project, the overall reliability of the SCE grid system will improve, which will minimize future power outages.
