N.W.T.’s Power Corporation says power was restored to about 50 households after line crew made repairs to a pole in the Ptarmigan and Robin corner of town following a four hour outage in Hay River.
Doug Prendergast with NTPC said it’s still unclear what caused what were two separate partial outages in the community.
Prendergast reported the outage began at about 7 a.m. and lasted between 4 to 5 hours.
According to a message posted on social media by NTPC this morning, Hay River Line crew made repairs to a pole in the Ptarmigan and Robin Crescent corner of town. Then they worked their way up to restore houses without power on Covert and Stewart Drive.
Last week Hay River was among South Slave communities placed on diesel power as repair and maintenance work takes place at the Taltson hydro station.
