Power has been restored to a large section of Owen Sound.
A malfunction at the transformer at Alexandra School caused the initial outage just before 8:00 o'clock. Over five thousand Hydro One customers were affected.
Electricity was restored shortly after 9:00.
City police are encouraging family or friends to contact any vulnerable residents who are living on their own and utilize medical machinery or instruments that may have been affected by the outage to ensure it is functional.
