Days after their Oakley apartment building was evacuated, some seniors were able to return home Tuesday, according to building management.
The management of the Oak Grove Senior Terrace said PG&E had restored power, making it safe for some residents to return. But the elevator still needed repairs.
Authorities shut off power there after a clogged pipe sent sewage overflowing into a vacant apartment near the elevator controls.
In the meantime, management has been paying for hotels and food for the displaced seniors.
