Power has been restored to most of the 2,500 customers that were affected by an outage in the city’s east end on Friday.
Toronto Hydro said the outage was caused by damage to underground equipment.
As of 6:30 p.m. Toronto Hydro’s online map showed that 50 to 500 customers remain affected.
At its peak the outage affected customers from Danforth Avenue south to Gerrard Street East, and from Broadview Avenue east to Carlaw Avenue.
It’s not clear how the equipment was damaged.
“Crews are onsite working as quickly and safely as possible to restore power to customers,” Toronto Hydro said in a social media post.
“We understand how difficult it is to be without power for so long and appreciate everyone’s continued patience.”
