The new system, which you can access on the city’s website, will automatically publish tweets from the city’s account and provide updates on outages like estimated restoration time and progress.

The city said the new portal offers self-serve options for the public to get information, alleviating the need to contact 311 as the latest information will be readily available at all times.

311 is a number Lethbridge residents can call for information or to report issues relating to the city.
