Tilbury residents are being reminded to plan ahead of a town-wide power outage scheduled for this weekend.
Hydro One will be conducting system upgrades on Sunday, resulting in a loss of power in Tilbury from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. The necessary upgrades will include the installation of a switch that will help reduce the number of outages that affect Tilbury in the future.
In the event of adverse weather, an alternate date for the planned outage has been scheduled for October 20.
Affected residents are encouraged to prepare for the outage in advance by assembling an emergency preparedness kit, ensuring cell phones are fully charged, plugging electronics into a surge protector, and maintaining a colder food storage temperature to protect food.
