FortisBC says the power outage on Dilworth Mountain was caused by a cable shorting out, and they are currently switching it out with a new one. 

While they do not have an estimated time of completion, FortisBC's Karen Zukas says power should be restored "shortly."

Crews are currently working to restore power, but Zukas says they do not know yet when that will be.
