A Valencia power outage has left almost 5,000 residents without electricity and several traffic signals completely dark near Copper Hill Drive Thursday morning.

Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station officials are advising residents to treat traffic signals that are not working as a four-way stop sign, to prevent potential accidents.

‼️Multiple traffic signals not working in the Valencia area due to power outage. If a signal is out, please use it as a 4-way ????STOP with other motorists.

The outage, centered around Copper Hill Drive and Tesoro Del Valle Drive, is estimated to be repaired by 3:30 p.m., according to Southern California Edison.

The cause of the power outage is unknown at the time, SoCal Edison officials said.

William S. Hart District officials have addressed the power outage, which caused both Valencia High School and Rio Norte Jr. High School to temporally lose power.

“Students are safe and there is no reason to pick up your child from school,” said district officials in a statement. “Both schools will remain open and instruction will continue.”
