With temperatures below zero, hundreds of Hydro-Québec customers in Montreal's Saint-Michel neighbourhood have been without power for 48 hours, and the province's utility says it needs more time to restore service.
As of 6:30 a.m. on Monday, about 1,400 addresses in Montreal were without power, according to Hydro-Québec's outage map. The bulk of those addresses are in the Villeray—Saint-Michel—Parc-Extension.
The utility says the outage is due to equipment failure and work to restore power has been complicated. It expects the power to be restored at around noon, Monday.
"We have complex and time-consuming underground work to be carried out," said Alain Paquette, a spokesperson for Hydro-Québec.
Places to warm up have been made available to people who are affected and Montreal police say they've also gone door to door to check up on residents. They also say additional officers were dispatched to patrol the area for security reasons.
