Islanders may have grumbled on Monday when a power outage hit parts of Bowen Island, thinking that perhaps the outage was caused by construction on Trunk Road.
The outage was in fact caused by a problem at Lion’s Bay substation, and islanders can look forward to the imminent conclusion of their roadwork. BC Hydro says the project - replacing submarine cables that provide power to Bowen, and splitting them into two circuits, is on track to be completed in advance of the scheduled in-service date of October 31.
Shaw Cable is next in lineto work on Trunk Road and has confirmed that they will begin installing a fibre connection to improve internet speeds in the near future.
