Good morning, Residents
Yesterday, the municipality issued a statement indicating that the MacDougall substation would be taken offline for a few hours to do maintenance.
Areas surrounding the substation, such as parts of ElToro Park and Hillcrest, would be affected.
According to the call center and reports received, it now seems that the area affected is much larger and includes parts of Rhodesdene, Hadison Park, as well as Carters Glen.
Regards
Cllr Chris Whittaker
Ward 24
PLEASE NOTE: As some parts of New Park is also affected, the Newton Reservoir could also be off and residents could experience little to no water pressure.
