Full Notification

PG&E started Phase 2 power shutoffs at approximately 10:30 p.m. last night (10/9/19). We do not yet know when power restoration will begin in Morgan Hill. If you still have power in Santa Clara County, PG&E is stating that you will not lose power due to this Public Safety Power Shutoff event.

Important Updates
• Due to the power shutoffs, multiple traffic signals are out throughout the City. As a reminder, intersections without a working traffic signal should be treated as a four-way stop. Please slow down and use caution in these areas.

• A Charging Center is available at the Community and Cultural Center located at 17000 Monterey Road in Morgan Hill. Electrical outlets will be available on a first come, first served basis. It is anticipated to stay available through the duration of the power shutoff.

• Please call 911 only for emergencies, not to get information. For information regarding the City of Morgan Hill’s services during a PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff please call (669) 201-2565. This line will be staffed from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and after these hours callers can leave a message to receive a return phone call.

• All schools in the Morgan Hill Unified School District are remaining open. Check with your private school administration on their power outage plans.

• The City continues to maintain water and sewer service during this outage by using emergency generators. Emergency generators will have a noise impact. We do not anticipate any interruption to water or sewer services at this time. If you get your water from a private well or rely on a private pumping system to serve your residence or business, your water and sewer service may be interrupted.

• At this time all City facilities have power and will remain open during their regular business hours.
