BURLINGTON, ON. Burlington Hydro reports that approximately 850 customers located north of Hwy 5 are still without power and no one is able yet, to say with any certainty just when all those homes will have full power.
It is a road by road situation. An Appleby Line resident, who has a small generator, is running low on propane and not at all sure a truck is going to be able to get up the lane way.
Some 150 people attended the community meeting in Kilbride where they got a full update.
More than 6000 customers have had their power restored Hydro crews now have to deal with – falling snow, – is making wires already laden with ice even heavier.
City snow clearing operations are out in full force salting of primary and secondary sidewalks began overnight and is ongoing. Salting and sanding of primary and secondary roads is ongoing.
Burlington Hydro is hoping to restore power to the following areas today:
Up Guelph Line from Lowville, across 8 Sideroad, to Twiss
Guelph Line south from Lowville
Cedar Springs to McNiven
Britannia east of Guelph Line to Appleby and down to No. 1 Sideroad and then up into Kilbride
Up and down Appleby Line and then up and down Walkers Line
West along Britannia from Walkers Line and then over to Waterdown Road
Additionally, there remain some small outage pockets in the city. Crews were able to respond to most of these outages today, however, some localized outages remain and will be attended to tomorrow.
Customers are reminded of the dangers of downed power lines and the importance of staying well away. In an emergency situation, customers are reminded to call 9-1-1.
Two warming stations are available for residents still without power. They are located at:
