Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro (Hydro) is continuing to advise the community of Rigolet that some customers will remain without power over night.

The weather is preventing the crew from traveling to make necessary repairs to the diesel unit. The approximately 40 customers who were without power last night (November 8) have been brought back online. An alternate group of customers will be taken off over night tonight (November 9).

Crews will attempt to travel tomorrow, when the weather clears.

As stormy weather persists, Hydro reminds customers to please implement measures to stay safe if they experience outages. Safety information can be found at hydrosafety.ca and GetPrepared.gc.ca.

Customers can get further updates on the Hydro Power Outages and Emergencies (24 hrs) line at 1-888-737-1296 or on Hydro’s website at www.nlh.nl.ca
