Service alert

We’re working to restore power to customers in South Slocan

November 20, 2024, at 8:19 p.m.

We’re working to restore electricity service to around 1,375 customers in South Slocan. Our crews are making the necessary repairs to our system and expect power to be restored by 12 a.m.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate our customers’ patience as we work to restore power safely and as quickly as possible.

This is a good reminder to be prepared for outages by having an emergency kit with items such as flashlights, a battery operated radio and fresh water on hand in an area that is easily accessible.

Make sure to stay at least 30 feet away from a downed power line – or the length of a school bus. If you are involved in an accident where poles or wires are involved, it is important to remain calm, stay in your vehicle, dial 9-1-1 and wait until FortisBC can turn off and isolate the power.

To report an outage, downed wires or poles, please call us at 1-866-436-7847.

Thank you

We recognize the inconvenience power outages can have to our customers and appreciate their patience as crews work to restore service safely and as quickly as possible.
