“During storms, it is impossible to predict where the damage may occur and our concern is always to restore the power to customers safely and as quickly as possible.”

London Hydro will be sending four service crews (eight line workers and four single bucket trucks) to assist them in restoring power as quickly as possible.

The crews will arrive Tuesday afternoon and will provide assistance until their help is no longer required.
