Hydro One responds to mass outages
From Hydro One:
Crews are out in full force, restoring power as quickly and safely as possible to customers affected by high winds and snow fall that started Friday evening in parts of Central Ontario. We have mobilized crews from other parts of the province along with our contractors to assist with restoration efforts as more snow may cause additional outages as it accumulates on trees, lines and equipment.
As outages occur, an estimated time of restoration will be determined for each incident once damage has been assessed. Outages can be reported by texting 92887 (WATTS), through the company’s outage map and app, or by calling 1-800-434-1235. Outage tools are updated every 10 minutes as updates come in from the crews on the ground.
Stay clear of any fallen power lines. If you spot a fallen line, keep at least 10 metres back, even if it does not appear to be live. Report it to 911 and call Hydro One at 1-800-434-1235.
