The thunderstorms that moved through southern Ontario on Saturday have left incredible amounts of damage to our distribution system. Our crews continue to work on clearing trees and repairing damaged infrastructure throughout our territory.
We have made significant progress, but we still have a lot of work to do. Yesterday, we were able to restore power to about 1000 customers. As of Monday morning, there are still approximately 300 customers without power. These customers are in the most heavily damaged areas. We have crews working to clear trees, set poles, and repair lines in these areas. We do not have an ETA on restoring power to these customers.
Thank you to the many customers who have shown us their incredible support over the past two days. Thank you to those customers who are still without power for your ongoing patience. We understand that this has been a lengthy outage and that being without power is difficult.
A huge thank you to our staff who are continuing to work tirelessly to ensure power is safely restored.

Like much of southern Ontario, Halton Hills was hit by thunderstorms yesterday afternoon with hurricane-force winds. The damage in several areas is considerable. Our crews worked through the night to clear lines from roadways and make areas safe for the public.
We still have several pockets of customers without power in all areas of Halton Hills. Our crews are continuing to work to restore power to all of our customers. With the amount of damage we experienced, these efforts are time-consuming. We are not able to provide ETAs because we do not know how long restoration in each area will take until we can get to it and assess the damage.
To those customers who are still without power, we understand that this has been a long outage and we thank you for your continued patience as we work to restore power. At this point, those still without power should plan for several more hours without power until we are able to replace broken poles and restore power.
Thank you to all of our staff who are continuing to work to ensure power is safely restored.
