The scheduled outages will last from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m on. April 27.

The outages will impact the following streets:

• Granite Road,
• Insight Road
• Kai Road

The reason for the scheduled outages stems from an outdated copper conductor that has been classified as a safety hazard and needs to be replaced.

"It is a potential fire risk for our forests, property owners, residences, and businesses,” Nelson Hydro wrote in a statement.

They explained that they have reserved this work for warmer weather and have opted to schedule it on a Sunday to minimize the potential impacts on businesses.
