Areas in the west end of Harriston have been dealing with ongoing issues of power outages and Minto Mayor Dave Turton says they are working on a plan to ensure the situation is dealt with.
In a council meeting on October 3rd, Turton provided an update on a call from the Chamber of Commerce to have Westario Power look into the concerns of the power outages which has affected businesses causing some to close shop early.
Turton says Public Works and Westario are working together to tackle the issue.
“Our Public Works Director and Chris from Westario have done an inventory of our tree canopy in the area where we’ve been having some of the problems and we have a plan, we have some money left in our tree budget.” said Turton.
Turton adds every 3 years Westario trims trees and in early 2024 will be doing their rounds once again but says overall there still will be a plan in place to address the power outage issues.
