NO POWER in Chula Vista


Recommended Posts

Power started flickering around 8:30 last night. Mostly flickering off. Then at 9 it went out completely. A few minutes later, there was a transformer explosion heard from the west area (this is lower Chula Vista).  We packed up and left, and from another house reported the problem to CFE about 11 pm. They told us no one had reported the problem, and they refused to take the report without the Account Number of CFE. Well what would we be doing walking around with a CFE bill in our pockets?

This morning we called a neighbour and got his account number and reported again. Still, no one had reported it. CFE will not do anything until they get at least two reports. Please, anyone who lives in the area... if you want your power back on in this lifetime, call the 071 number and make a report. Yes, it will be a Spanish conversation, but with their anti-business attitude, it's worth a try. They will want your address and account number.

For a neighbourhood to be without power for more than 12 hours, with no response from the utility, is unacceptable. It appears they don't even have computerized grids that will tell them when a transformer blows or power is out. Of all the lovely reasons for living here, the CFE is not one of them.
