?????Once again, customers of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
were spared, although the municipally owned utility said its electrical
surplus was smaller than usual. The DWP, like Southern California Edison, was
affected by an outage at the huge Mohave power plant in Nevada, as well as by
planned outages at several of its facilities.
?????As in the past, by far the biggest impact was felt by customers served
by Pacific Gas & Electric, the state's largest utility, which cut power to
438,000 homes and businesses.
?????Edison cut power to 47,462 customers in about 40 cities, but eventually
was able to avoid blackouts by shutting off the air conditioners of some of
the 118,500 customers who participate in a voluntary cutoff program.
?????San Diego Gas & Electric cut power to 73,400 customers.

?????Innovative Ways of Coping
?????As on Monday, most people took the outages in stride, as an annoying but
ultimately unavoidable inconvenience.
?????In Palmdale, four schools lost power during one of the hourlong
blackouts, but teachers and students pressed on in the sunlight pouring
through windows and skylights. At Barrel Springs Elementary, Principal Cruz
Earls said the biggest problem came when students had to go to the bathroom:
Hand in hand, they made their way through darkened hallways with flashlights.
?????All in all, it wasn't a terrible experience. Then again, the weather
wasn't that hot Tuesday, with a high of 79 in Palmdale, so the shutdown of
air conditioners wasn't much of a hardship. "I don't want to think about the
conditions this could create in May or June," Earls said.
?????Businesses of all kinds complained about the lack of warning for the
outages--and sometimes found innovative ways to get around the problem.
?????Rattled by news reports of Monday's rolling blackouts, El Burrito
Mexican Food Products in the city of Industry started its Tuesday shift at 2
a.m. to beat the clock in the event of an outage. That hunch paid off.
