Power Outage Confusion

If you think you’re confused about messages from BC Hydro about a planned power outage on May 5th, and the cancellation, and then another one saying it’s back on again and another it’s back off notice… so is BC Hydro! I telephoned to ask why some of us are receiving, on the same day, conflicting notices. The helpful technician found he also had conflicting information and couldn’t confirm the May 5th power outage one way or the other. He suggested calling BC Hydro back this Friday to see if he had any updates.

So as it stands now, it’s a mystery to Thetis islanders if we will be having a four-hour planned power outage on May 5th or not. Stay tuned.
