Downed power line responsible for Sunday evening power outage

It was an uncomfortable Sunday evening for some people in Steinbach when the power went out while it was still 27 degrees.

This meant no air conditioning units were used and fans were not running.

The outage occurred shortly before 8pm.

Manitoba Hydro reported that approximately 1600 customers were impacted. A downed power line is reported to have caused the outage.

Power was restored by 9:30pm.
