Hyrdo Outage Downtown - Sunday
7/5/2019 at 11:18 AM

Just got a call from Manitoba Hydro saying that my power would be turned off from 1-7pm Sunday as part of work being done on a nearby transformer.
Sounds like this may affect many buildings downtown.

Anyone else here something similar?

Edit to add: Nothing posted on Hydro's website about this. https://www.hydro.mb.ca/outages/planned/

Via a Hydro rep, they’ll be rebuilding 2 transformer banks and replacing some poles. About 20 customers will be effected, majority being businesses. Sunday was chosen because many of those businesses will be closed.

Did they mention what area of downtown are they specifically talking about?

Sounds like East End of Downtown and that effected customers will have already been notified.

There are a lot of apartments surrounding the downtown businesses, does anyone know exactly what area of downtown will be affected?

Looking for information as a resident of downtown Brandon, wondering if our apartment is in the affected area.

That's what I wanted to know as well.

I live near New Era School / St. Augustine's Church. In checking my landline caller id, Hydro never called me so I'm guessing it won't affect me.
