Customers in Danville and Orinda have received notices informing them of the planned work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., as residents shelter in place to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the station reported.

PG&E said it received many complaints and apologized for the inconvenience, but said workers must install safety equipment designed to prevent wildfires, KGO reported.

Nearly 230 Danville households and six Orinda households were without power Thursday morning, according to PG&E's website.
