Planned power outages in Melfort
Power outages scheduled for today and tomorrow in Melfort will be in shorter time frames than an earlier tweet from SaskPower suggested.
In the notification, the company said power outages would occur between 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and again between 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. both tomorrow and Thursday.
SaskPower spokesperson Jordan Jackle said the tweet mentioned longer time frames over two days, the outage shouldn’t last that long.
“There’s a window of about five hours each day. For an individual customer we’re only looking at probably a two to three-hour outage. Once our crews do their work they will restore power to the customers and move on to the next group,” Jackle said.
