Horizon Utilities is reporting that nearly 4,000 households and businesses lost power after an incident occurred shortly before 11pm Sunday.
“The cause of the outage is an overhead distribution problem” the utility said on their website. “Horizon Utilities crews have been dispatched to make repairs.”
The utility declined to say how long it would take for those repairs.
Meanwhile police and fire services were responding to a spot near where Baldwin, and Court streets and Cootes Drive intersect following reports of a sound like an explosion.
Spectator reporter Scott Radley said he was told by people on the scene that they heard “two big booms and saw sparks flying off a hydro pole” there.
Others reported seeing twin flashes in the sky from as far away as Ancaster.
