Power outage planned
BC Hydro requires a planned outage on Sunday, May 27, from 5:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m in the Invermere and Radium Hot Springs areas.
The planned outage is required in daylight hours to safely install sky wires and complete upgrade work at the Athalmer Substation, explained Diane Tammen CBC Hydro community relations manager, East Kootenay.
“The three and a half hour planned outage will affect approximately 6,600 customers in the Invermere and Radium areas,” she said.
“We are taking all the necessary steps to minimize the inconvenience to our customers and will restore service safely and as quickly as possible. BC Hydro customers will be notified by advertisements in local newspapers and radio ads. Key account customers will be informed directly. Please forward this information to operations and planning departments within your organizations. Please contact me immediately if there is a concern with the outage date – i.e. significant event in the community,” Tammen reported.
