Power was restored after more than 8,000 customers in and around Collingwood experienced an unscheduled outage on Wednesday afternoon, according to Epcor.
According to a tweet, Epcor and Hydro One staff investigated the cause of the outage.
Several schools were without power, including Pine River Elementary School, Collingwood Collegiate Institute and Admiral Collingwood Elementary School.
“The cause of the outage was a downed tree adjacent to our service territory,” Megan Thorburn, Epcor’s external communications manager, said in an email.
“Crews addressed the issue and patrolled the line to ensure it was safe. Power has been restored.”
