Jurupa Valley, Southern California Edison set Feb. 27 town hall on power outages and PSPS
Summary
The city confirmed a special town hall with Southern California Edison for Feb. 27 at Rubedo High School to address public safety power shutoffs, resources for medically dependent residents and other outage concerns; residents may RSVP on the city's website.
City staff announced on Thursday that Southern California Edison will hold a special community meeting in Jurupa Valley on public safety power shutoffs (PSPS) and related outage issues next Thursday, Feb. 27, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Rubedo High School’s Elliot Dushawn Concert Hall, 4250 Opel Street.
Nut graf: The meeting will feature Edison community resource staff and an extended public‑comment portion. City staff encouraged residents to RSVP so the city can gauge seating (the hall has about 330 seats) and planned to provide Spanish translation; a live stream or recorded video may be posted after the event.
What to expect: The first portion of the meeting will include Edison presentations explaining why PSPS events occur, the criteria Edison uses and services available to customers — especially medically dependent customers and others who rely on electricity. Edison will also have staff on‑site to assist residents in signing up for programs and resources.
Logistics and RSVP: The city asked residents to RSVP on Jurupa Valley’s website so staff can estimate attendance and arrange translation and seating. City Manager Mike Butler told council staff had secured Edison and district cooperation and had asked Edison to bring community resources teams to register residents for programs. Councilmembers asked the city to press Edison for grocery reimbursement and confirmed the city will send a letter to Edison about reimbursements for spoiled groceries and other outage costs.
Ending: City staff said the meeting is a formally noticed special meeting of the council to permit broad public comment. Spanish translation will be available and the city will post RSVP information at roopavalley.org.
