Power back on

UPDATE 1:40 P.M.

A crow is to blame for a power outage Monday in West Kelowna.

“A crow was on some of our equipment and shorted out that equipment causing the outage,” says BC Hydro spokesman Dag Sharman. “It has been fixed and customers should have their power back on now.”

Sharman says power was restored to all customers at 12:44 p.m. after going out at 11:25 a.m.

Power is out to just over 100 customers in the Smith Creek area of West Kelowna Monday afternoon.

Early reports indicate the power lines were seen smoking on Whispering Hills Drive before power went out.

B.C. Hydro reports the power went out at 11:25 a.m. and that it is under investigation. There is no current estimated turn-on time.

Castanet will have more details as they become available.
