The District of Summerland is preparing residents to be in the dark early Sunday morning.

A planned power outage will take place from 12:01 a.m. until 6:00 a.m. on Oct. 22nd in the community, excluding the areas of Trout Creek, Front Bench and Canyon Views.

Staff will be upgrading electrical switches at the Prairie Valley substation during the outage, replacing the existing porcelain switches with more epoxy ones which are more durable.

This will be the second and final planned outage needed this month.

The time allotted for the work was deemed the least disruptive to residents by the district.
