After receiving those reports, SCE officials confirmed that an estimated 1,918 of their customers had been affected by the power outage, according to their outage center.
The cause of the Valencia outage is yet to be determined and no approximate time of restoration has been provided at this time.
A minor power outage in the Newhall area was also reported at approximately 9:16 a.m. Saturday morning, affecting 25 customers.
