Power outage to affect 350 residents today

Jan 6, 2017 | 9:10 AM

Some residents in our region will need to bundle up for a few hours today as SaskPower has announced a planned power outage from 9:30 a.m. to three this afternoon.

SaskPower spokeperson Laura McKnight says that crews will be replacing a few power poles during the outage.

“When planning this outage we looked at the forecast and determined that this would be the best time to get these poles replaced.” said McKnight.

McKnight said that poles in question needed immediate attention and could not be put off any longer.
