Prince  George, B.C.-  Today marks the start of some  rolling  hydro  blackouts in  Prince George.  B.C. Hydro is starting a program that will replace some parts on hydro poles.  The program will  be complete in mid June but it means the power will  have to be shut down  in the area where the work is being conducted.

BC Hydro spokesperson, Bob Gammer, says  residents can expect the power to be out for about an hour,  and once the work has been done,  the work crew will move to a new area.  That one power outage will be all that any resident should experience during the course of this repair plan.

Gammer says residents will be notified of the planned outage  by  a visit from the work crew, or a message left on  their  door.  As for businesses,  work crews are  expected to  talk with them to  arrange a time that would be the least disruptive to the business.

git'er dun. But why not just get hold the Citizen, Opinion 250, and post that information on print, and then people will be aware of it.

Posting it only in the Citizen would be a good idea, however it would assume that everyone bothers to read the citizen. I never read it..

Further, Hydro can't be 100% sure when they are going to do something in an area.. Sometimes weather will play a big part in the amount of time something takes. Considering we're having days still where it's a blizzard on the Hart, and sunny here in the Bowl.. Their course of action in notification makes sense.
