Outage

SaskPower outage to affect R.M. of Buckland customers Thursday

Feb 19, 2020 | 12:00 PM

SaskPower customers in the R.M. of Buckland will be without power this Thursday.

From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. the Crown corporation will conduct routine maintenance.

“It’s just some equipment changes. Some older stuff is being swapped out, some newer stuff is being put in. The outage is just so we can do all of that safely,” Scott McGregor, media consultant with SaskPower said. “The outage is expected to affect 350 customers.”

McGregor explained equipment changes happen routinely and crews are well prepared to do this type of work, no matter the conditions.

“It’s like any job that happens outside, the weather does make things a lot easier. This Thursday it looks like the temperature is hovering right around the freezing mark so it’s going to be nice and balmy, but our crews are pros and they work in all types of conditions,” McGregor said.
