SaskPower customers in several North Battleford areas will be waking up on Sunday morning without power.

According to SaskPower spokesperson Jordan Jackle, the work is necessary to upgrade equipment.

“We (SaskPower) are working to improve the power system in the North Battleford area and that involves replacing a couple of poles,” Jackle said. “However the big thing is that we will be replacing several transformers and to do that safely, we will need to shut the power off.”

The areas affected will be 98 St. to 102 St. between 11 and 15 Ave. and Railway Ave. from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. as well as 100 St. to 102 St. from 11 to 15 Ave. from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
