Residents of Prince Rupert are going to be in the dark for a fair bit of the overnight period, with BC Hydro announcing a power outage tonight to effect urgently needed repairs.
The outage will take place from 10 PM to 4 AM, in addition to the overnight power outage, BC Hydro is asking for reduced consumption over the weekend.
Update: Originally indicating that it was to be a city wide power outage, an updated message from BC Hydro narrowed the area of note to the downtown and primarily on the west side of Prince Rupert, affecting close to 3,000 customers.
The City of Prince Rupert relayed the advisory this afternoon through their mobile app, Social Media stream and other messaging methods.
