Richmond residents in two areas will experience power outages as BC Hydro has scheduled repair and replacement work on March 25 and 26.
BC Hydro plans regular power outages to perform work on equipment or power lines that require them to be de-energized, according to the its website.
“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,” says BC Hydro's website.
Here is the list of power outages scheduled for the upcoming week:
Mar. 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
A pole replacement will affect less than five customers at:
- 6111, 6131 and 6151 Bassett Rd.
Mar. 26 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
