Hydro One “supply issue” causes brief power outage in parts of west Hamilton

Power is back after a brief outage affecting Westdale and other parts of west Hamilton Friday morning.

Over 12,000 customers in the area between Osler Dr. and Queen St. S and from Barton St. W to Fennell Ave. lost power just before 8 a.m.

Alecta says the issue stemmed from a supply problem from Hydro One.

Initially, the estimated time of restoration was said to be 11 a.m. but power was restored around 8:30 a.m.

Power has been restored to @alectranews following an outage on our transmission system this morning. We appreciate your patience as our teams worked together to investigate and bring power back. #hamont pic.twitter.com/27X6OJmAex
