REMINDER – Power Outage for North Westside Thursday May 4th

Remember the scheduled power outage back in November that was cancelled… well it’s back and rescheduled for Thursday May, 04 2017 from 6am to 6pm. Here is the notification I received from the BC Hydro Representative, so plan ahead and put this in your calendar as it may prove to impact your day somewhat.

If you’re using a generator remember the carbon monoxide hazard and ensure that you have good ventilation and heat separation from your home. Be careful if using candles or open flame.

Remember to conserve the water as electricity is what gets all of the North Westside water to the upland reservoirs and that includes the private (La Casa, Fintry Delta & Estamont) as well as the public water systems (Killiney, Westshores & Valley of the Sun / Upper Fintry). No water in the reservoir means no water in the fire hydrants so use the water responsibly during the outage. Thank you.

Hi,

We have used our auto-dialer to phone customers and notify them of this, and it will also be on the outage page on our website.

On May 4, BC Hydro will be completing system improvement work which will, among other benefits to Westside road-area customers, create the ability to sectionalize the power line and limit the number of customers affected by some power outages in the future.

To ensure public and crew safety during this work, power to 1,380 BC Hydro customers must be shut off on May 4th from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

 This power outage will affect all BC Hydro customers at La Casa Resort and north to the Intersection of Westshore Road and Westside Road.  This includes La Casa Resort, Fintry and Killiney Beach.

This is work that BC Hydro had originally planned to do in late fall but postponed due to the cold weather.

Thank you for your understanding,
