GOODLOW, B.C. — Goodlow residents are advised of planned power outages beginning June 9th.

According to a June 9th Facebook post by Goodlow Community, repairs on the 25-kilovolt and 138-kilovolt equipment in the TXB substation will result in temporary power outages in Boundary Lake.

A substation is a “specialized facility” which transforms voltage levels, switches circuits and regulates power between generation sources and users.

In a letter sent to residents, Whitecaps Resources said the outages will last up to 12 hours on June 9th, 10th and 11th.

Outages will be scattered throughout the area, so residents will not necessarily experience disruptions at the same time.

Residents who require more information on the project or have questions can contact Electrical Specialist Jayson Dekock at 250-262-6717 or jdekock@wcap.ca.
