Approximately 134 Avista electric customers located on the north side of Coeur d’Alene Lake will experience a planned power outage next Tuesday, August 13, according to a press release put out by Avista. 

Customers located near the intersection of East Sunnyside Road and East Coeur d’Alene Drive will be impacted. The six-hour planned outage will start at 8:00 a.m. and end at 2:00 p.m. the same day.

Impacted customers will be notified. No road closures are expected, but traffic control will be in place.
