A dark morning for many residents in Wallaceburg, and a busy one for Entegrus crews. 

Power was knocked out to most of the town, including some in parts of Pain Court, Walpole Island, and Dresden shortly before 7:30 morning.

At its peak, Entegrus says about 1200 customers were affected by the outage, which officials say stemmed from the supply causing one of the utility’s circuits to open.

A secondary outage was reported shortly after 9 o’clock, but all power was restored about half an hour later.
