Aanii Kina Weya, There are 2 upcoming planned power outages this month:
Sunday October 1st, 2023 from 7:00am-11:00am
Sunday October 22nd, 2023 from 8:00am-6:00pm
Please plan accordingly Below are some tips to help the community and families during an outage:
- Make sure your appliances, such as stoves, are in the off position
- Make sure your cellphone and extended battery packs are fullly charged
- Keep your refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. Use a cooler with ice for items you’ll need during the outage.
- If your water services will be affected, consider filling jugs of water to use for drinking and cooking
- If you plan to use a generator, remember to use it in a dry area outdoors away from any open windows, vents, and doors. Visit the Electrical Safety Authority at www.esasafe.com for more tips.
- If your water services will be affected and you have a bathtub, consider filling it with water before the outage begins. You can used the water and bucket to fill your toilet tank to be able to flush Miigwech and stay safe!
*For community members located in the map below*
PLEASE WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES before running your water when the power comes back on (this will give time for the pumps to switch from hydro to the generator and than back. This will also give time for the water pressure to get back into the pipes)
