Liberty contending with outages, scammers

Liberty Utilities’ customers in the Kings Beach area have experienced outages on and off since Nov. 9 because of NV Energy’s equipment failure in the Incline Village area. 

Liberty is taking service from NV Energy’s feed to the Kings Beach area while its Brockway substation is shut down for repairs. Those repairs are on schedule to be done by Tuesday evening, at which time Liberty plans to switch back to Brockway sub for those customers.

Also, Nov. 13-17 is Utility Scam Awareness Week. Last week, two commercial customers contacted Liberty’s office to report scam attempts.

If you suspect a scammer has called you in person or by voice message, hang up immediately and call 800.782.2506.
