WIND STORM UPDATE - April 19, 2021 @1:00pm
Nelson Hydro continues to clean up storm debris and restore power with the assistance of additional contract crews and arborist crews.
Outages include the North Shore from the seven hundred block of highway 3A, all the way to Coffee Creek and including Balfour, Harrop and Procter.
FortisBC is currently working to return the power supply to Coffee Creek which supplies the North Shore to Redfish Creek.
FortisBC has completed their flight over the lines coming into Coffee Creek from the West and found a number of trees down on the lines.
BC Hydro also has crews surveying the lines coming from the east into Coffee Creek.
A number of power poles were replaced on the NorthShore last night with crews working until 3:00am.
The damage on the Northshore from approximately sixteen hundred Highway 3A at the Blaylock Estates out to the six mile area is more extensive. Damage has been cleaned up between the Blaylock Estates and Nasookin Road area. Additional line crews have now been dispatched to this area to repair the damage and will be putting in all efforts to have power restored. Once this work is complete, Nelson Hydro will be able to restore power to much of the Northshore service area. We will provide an update when we have an estimate of restoration time.
Blewett road is now restored. Granite Road and Georama Road should have their power restored shortly. There will still be approximately twenty customers on Granite Road without power until tomorrow morning.
The Grohman community's power will be restored once crews have cleared multiple fallen trees and the line crew has access to the area. Arborists crews will be in the area this afternoon to begin removal.
Thank you for your patience as we work diligently to restore power to the service area.
