If you are experiencing power outages this week, it is likely due to SaskPower maintenance taking place in Weyburn.

SaskPower is supposed to be directly contacting customers affected for the week of July 11-15. However, information about outages can also be found on its website or Twitter page.

"The inconvenience of a shorter outage today will help the work that we need to do to help reliability in the future," said SaskPower spokesperson Heather Johnstone.

Johnstone said the outages could affect 10 to 20 customers in Weyburn per day. If the weather is not cooperating, SaskPower will continue work another time - when it is safe to do so.
