CHILLIWACK – Repair crews with BC Hydro have been deployed to three major outages affecting over 8,500 customers in the Fraser Valley Tuesday morning.

In Chilliwack, over 5,500 customers are without power in the downtown area and the neighbourhoods off Ashwell Road, as well as other areas, following a major outage Tuesday morning.

BC Hydro’s online dashboard reports that 3,425 customers west of Young Road lost power at 3:50 a.m., and another 2,088 customers west of Yale Road lost power at 3:49 a.m.

In both cases, BC Hydro says the cause is under investigation, although people are claiming online that a transformer blew.
