All 1.4 million San Diego Gas & Electric customers lost power yesterday afternoon. In fact, a large portion of the West lost power affecting up to 5,000,000 residents, according to estimates.
The power disruption apparently rendered some sewage pumps inoperable, causing sewage to spill onto beaches. In fact, some beaches north of Scripps Pier through Del Mar and Solano beach were shut down.
Today, power has been restored to most if not all residents in San Diego.
While the official cause of the outage will be under investigation, several sources are pointing to human error as work was being done at a power substation in Arizona.
