Residents of Tilbury and the surrounding area are being reminded of a Hydro One planned power outage that will affect the Town of Tilbury on Sunday, October 6 from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The outage will last for approximately seven hours, Municipal officials say.
An alternate date is scheduled for October 20 with the same times.
