A power outage this morning affected 3,000 residents in the City.

Scott Powell, Manager of Public Affairs for Manitoba Hydro says the large outage also affected customers in Nelson House, Leaf Rapids, Lynn Lake, Paint Lake, Thicket Portage and South Indian Lake.   

He says it was caused due to some problems with equipment at Mystery Lake Station. Crews did some switching to restore service and resolve the issue.

The outage began just after 8:00am, and was restored by 8:40am.
