Power restored in Bridgewater Area


Roughly 200 people have their power back after an outage Wednesday morning in the Bridgewater area. Dayspring and District Fire Department and Nova Scotia Power responded to a call shortly after 10am about sparks flying from a power pole on Highway 3 in Upper LaHave. Nova Scotia Power spokesman David Rhodenhizer says it was a minor incident and has been cleaned up.
"A tree branch had fallen across the lines in Upper LaHave. It would have impacted about 199 customers, so just under 200 customers lost power and we had the electricity restored in less than an hour."
The outage affected parts of Upper LaHave, Oak Hill, Dayspring and Rhodes Corner.
