The outage will affect approximately 2,300 Hydro One customers in Corbeil, Astorville and Bonfield between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. according to a news release from Hydro One.

Crews will replace two poles along with aging infrastructure on 10 poles in the area in addition to completing upgrades at our Bonfield Distribution Station to ensure a safe and reliable supply of electricity.
