POWER OUTAGE UPDATE: 7:00pm

The work on 18th Street has been completed and crews have re-energized McCallum View Drive and 18th Street, bringing the power back to a significant portion of the affected neighbourhoods.

Crews have relocated the work to Pineview Crescent and continue to work on restoring the power to the remaining homes. We appreciate your continued support in staying clear of the area while work goes on over the coming hours.

POWER OUTAGE UPDATE : 4:15pm

The work on 18th Street is progressing, and crews are estimating around 2 more hours before that section can be re-energized, which will also bring McCallum View Drive back online.

Once that's completed, the work will shift to Pineview Crescent. Barring any unforeseen issues, power is expected to be back on in that neighbourhood late this evening.

POWER OUTAGE:
City crews are responding to a power outage in the Val-Mar neighbourhood resulting from multiple trees strikes on power lines. Crews are currently securing the area and clearing trees from roadways and power lines.

Currently, an estimated time of restoration is not available, and the outage may continue through most of the day. Updates will be provided as information becomes available.

For the safety of the crews and public, please avoid the Val-Mar area unless necessary.

TREES DOWN:
Crews are also attending to trees and branches down elsewhere in the city. To report trees down on roads or near power lines, please contact the City of Grand Forks at 250-442-4148.
