Hydro One crews are responding to several outages throughout our listening area after last night’s wind storms.
The utility says crews are working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. During storm recovery, Hydro One prioritizes repairs in a way that brings electricity back to the greatest number of customers in the shortest period of time.
That means crews often need to repair and rebuild main lines, along with other key pieces of critical electricity infrastructure in the community, before they can move on to smaller lines serving fewer customers.
Hydro One says safety remains the top priority for both workers and the public.
Residents are being reminded to stay at least 10 metres away from any fallen power lines. Downed lines should be treated as live and dangerous. Anyone who spots one should call 911 and report it to Hydro One.
Customers using generators are also urged to keep them outside and away from windows, doors and ventilation areas to avoid carbon monoxide risks.
