MANITOULIN—Hydro One is alerting Manitoulin Island residents of a planned outage on Sunday, November 3 from 8 am to 2 pm, affecting approximately 10,720 customers.
Hydro One crews will install new technology, which includes four smart switches, that will limit the amount of customers impacted by outages and improve power restoration times in the area, a release explains.

“An outage is required to ensure the safety of our crews as they complete this important work,” the release continues. “We know that any outage causes a disruption for our customers, particularly outages of this length, which is why Hydro One co-ordinated this work together and scheduled all available crews.”
