Every completed forecast is compared with when power actually returned. As of Aug 19, 7,878 completed outages have been graded this way — median error 2 hours across the most recent 600 of them (about 1.9 days), and we publish the misses. See the full record (how it works). Independent and unofficial: never the utility's commitment.

How do I check the power outage status in West Valley City, UT?

How do I report a power outage in West Valley City, UT?
Report it to your electric utility — crews are dispatched from customer reports. Utilities tracked in Salt Lake County include PacifiCorp; confirm your own provider, then use its outage line or website. Reporting a downed line helps crews find the fault faster. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Does this page show West Valley City specifically, or the whole county?
Both, and for West Valley City we have the city-level view: PacifiCorp has published outages for West Valley City under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-08-16. When West Valley City is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the Salt Lake County county-wide total shown separately as context. Don't add the two together — the county figure already includes West Valley City.
How accurate is the restoration estimate?
Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
