An overnight power outage impacted a number of people in Wallaceburg.
Greg Bartlett, a manager with Entegrus, told the Sydenham Current the outage affected about 800 customers.
“We never found out what the cause of the outage was after doing our patrol,” Bartlett said.
“The crews did some switching to restore power to the area and everything was normal.”
Entegrus initially reported the outage in Wallaceburg on social media at 10:39 p.m., while their final tweet about restoring power to Wallaceburg was sent out at 12:35 p.m.
