Hydro One working to restore power to customers in Bancroft area

Hydro One has begun restoring power to customers across North Hastings.

That’s according to Hydro One, which says the outage happened around 3:30 yesterday afternoon during a thunderstorm that hit the region. Customers as far south as Apsley up to Lake St. Peter and Maple Leaf were without power until nearly 6:00pm, as well as customers scattered around the area.

Customers in the Bancroft area could still be without power for a good part of the day, with restoration expected around 4:00pm.

Hydro One says the storm left about 45,000 customers across Ontario without power.
