PLANNED POWER OUTAGE – SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25

FortisBC will be replacing aging power transmission structures on the line that supplies electricity to much of the Creston area.

🔌 When: Sunday, October 25, 2026
🕕 Time: 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon

The planned outage will affect approximately 4,800 customers in the Creston Valley.

This work is necessary to help maintain the reliability of the electrical grid. For safety reasons, the power line must be temporarily shut off while crews complete the replacements.

Please plan ahead and prepare for a loss of power during this time. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding while this important infrastructure work is completed.

Please share this post to help spread the word! If you have any questions, please contact FortisBC.
