Overnight Power Outage | Wednesday, July 28, 2010

People in parts of Whitehorse (Riverdale, a portion of Porter Creek, Crestview), those living along the Mayo Road, and residents of Carmacks, Ross River, Pelly and Faro lost power for a short while overnight. Most people had their power restored within a few minutes. Residents in the north part of the city had their power returned in less than half an hour.

The cause of the outage was a tree that fell on our transmission line to Faro. The tree has since been removed and the hydro system is back to normal.

Yukon Energy apologizes for this outage and the inconvenience it may have caused you.
