Hi All, Just spoke with the City regarding the power outage in Observatory. The power has still not been connected. Evidently the problem is really bad and they tell me they will be hooking up generators to restore power. Anybody reading this please let us working class know when the power is restored in the Obs area. Ancois, thanks for your help.

I have called the City Electricity department twice, the last call was five minutes ago. They tell me that one of the electrical boxes last night exploded causing cables to burn, thus knocking out the power, they tell me they are presently fixing the problem - replacing the cables - yet will not be able to give me a time when the power will be restored. When you called did you get a reference number? I will keep calling on an hourly basis, hopefully they will have good news. Hope that they will fix this once and for all. Doug.

I live on Arnold street between Scott and Bishop, also had no power from somewhere between 11 and midnight. I have a baby in the house, so to wake up in the middle of the night not being able to use the microwave to heat milk is quite a pain in the ass, and also a security issue, and the house gets too cold. I phone city council, they had the same reply as the last two times. They actually don't know what the problem is, it only happens when it rains. They start looking for the problem, and it always ends up drying before they find it, then everything works again, til the next big rain. I think its out of their control, but it sure would be nice if they can fix it. Let's just hold thumbs.

The area could be bigger but this is what I have ascertained. This is the third power outage in this area in the last couple of months. The latest one was still on the go from midnight last night to when I left home for work this morning What is the problem, and why can it not be fixed? I would be happy if someone could supply an answer, I have mailed the city, yet all the say they know about it....then nothing further.
