Why we plan power outages
We must perform work on the electrical system to maintain its safe and efficient operation. To ensure the safety of work crews and the public, some of this work can only be completed with the power lines de-energized, which means an outage for some customers.
By planning the outage and doing the necessary work, our crews can prevent a potential unplanned emergency outage in the future, where a part of the system unexpectedly fails or malfunctions.

We thank-you for your patience.
As a result of the BC Hydro power outage on Thursday May 8, 2025, the municipal offices will be closed. Online services will also be unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience but unfortunately, the Municipality has no control over the timing of BC Hydro’s planned power outage.
