Around 2,879 people in Sausalito were left without power after a wire was downed Wednesday, according to PG&E.
In a post on its website, the city said the outage was due to a car accident near the intersection of Coloma Street and Bridgeway earlier in the day. It also advised that a damaged hydrant meant water service might be unavailable to some nearby people.
Coloma Street was closed between Bridgeway and Gate 5 Road as a result of PG&E and water district crews working there, according to the Sausalito Police Department.
In an online update posted at around 4:20 p.m. Wednesday, the city said power had been restored to all but roughly 176 households in the north end of Sausalito. It estimated power would be restored to most by 8:15 p.m., but added that a PG&E representative had told the city some customers could be without power for up to 18 hours.
