Power restored in Cross Lake First Nation: Manitoba Hydro

Manitoba Hydro says power has been restored to Cross Lake First Nation after a Sunday outage.

Customers will gradually have their power restored to prevent overloading the system, a New Year’s Day media release says.

It’s anticipated power will be fully restored to the community “sometime this evening if all goes well.”

The broken line was 300 metres long and ran between two islands in the Nelson River. Approximately 20 Manitoba Hydro employees have been working in the community during the outage.
