By Nelson Daily Staff
Nelson Hydro General Manager Alex Love reports there are about 300 customers still without power.
Love said areas around Green road and Proctor East areas have extensive damage.
Love said other areas still affected include:
South Shore
- Carlson Road,
- Grohman,
- Upper Sproule Creek Rd.
City of Nelson
- Observatory and Hoover St area
North Shore
- Green Road
- RDCK transfer station
- Proctor – Harrop
Love said Nelson Hydro and contractor crews are working on these remaining areas and will be through the night and into Canada Day.
“We expect power to be restored to all customers before end of day (Wednesday) July 1,” Love explained.
“The line crews are taking rest and meal breaks to ensure safety of working conditions.”
Love said he expects crews to have most power restored by tonight.
However, without power by Wednesday morning, contact the outage line at 1 877 324-9376 and let the operator know of your physical location.
“It can happen that crews restore power to an area but one or two houses remain off because of a separate issue that we are not aware of,” ,” Love said.
“Again beware of and provide plenty of clearance around downed power lines – always respect them as energized,” Love added.
