More than 1,100 people in eastern Manitoba will be without power for a significant part of Wednesday, says Manitoba Hydro.
The affected region, which stretches from Whitemouth to East Braintree, was apparently caused by a pole that burnt down in a deep, marshy ditch, said Hydro.
Hydro will be using special equipment to replace the pole, with the expectation that power will be restored around 4 p.m.
