the power went out for 22,000 hydro clients in ottawa’s west end saturday afternoon.
hydro ottawa said the outage mainly affected customers in bay, kitchissippi, river and college municipal wards.
most clients were without power for less than an hour.
first responders said there were no major problems associated with the outage.
“(saturday’s) outages in the west end was caused by loss of power from the provincial grid,” said susan fekete, manager of media and public affairs for hydro ottawa. “it was restored to the majority of customers within 20 minutes.”
the utility said any customers without power should report it to hydroottawa.com/outagecentre.
