Electricity Restored in Moss Park After More Than 24 Hours
Almost 600 customers in the Moss Park area were left without power starting at 8:11 a.m. Wednesday due to an underground cable fault.
Toronto Hydro confirmed that power was restored around 1 p.m. the following day, more than 24 hours after the outage began.
Cause of the Outage
Toronto Hydro reported that the fault was caused by a suspected third-party dig-in at an active construction site.
“This work is unrelated to Toronto Hydro but appears to have damaged our infrastructure.”
Repair Process Challenges
The utility described the repair as complex and time-consuming because of the fault's location.
“It involves safely identifying, repairing and testing the damaged infrastructure before we can return it to service.”
Initially, Toronto Hydro aimed to restore power by 8:30 a.m. Thursday, then revised to 11:30 a.m., and finally confirmed restoration in the afternoon.
“The damage caused by the third-party contractor is extensive, with the dig-ins occurring in multiple spots.”
