PLANNED POWER OUTAGE

Hydro One is advising residents in Bobcaygeon of a planned power outage on Sunday, May 16 required for crews to safely perform scheduled maintenance and complete upgrades in the area. For the safety of their crews, equipment must be de-energized to complete the work. To reduce service disruptions and the need for future outages, they are bundling the work as much as possible to enhance power reliability and replace aging infrastructure.

The work will take place on Sunday, May 16 from 8am to 12pm and will affect approximately 950 Hydro One customers in Bobcaygeon.

Hydro One crews will perform scheduled maintenance and complete upgrades to ensure a safe and reliable supply of electricity, including replacing infrastructure from the 1950s such as 12 poles and a power line, as well as adding multiple switches in the community. Traffic controls will be in place along East Street (Highway 36) between Mill Street and Boyd Street.

Affected customers have been notified via auto-dialer and can visit Hydro One’s outage map or call 1-888-664-9376 for more information.
