Power outage situation – UPDATE at 10:30 a.m. (January 12)

All homes in Sutton have been reconnected;
In view of the new storm forecast for tomorrow, Hydro-Québec has stockpiled equipment (poles, conductors, crossarms) near Sutton to manage new risks and be ready to act quickly to restore Sutton substation in the event of a failure on the transmission line between Cowansville and Sutton;
We recommend that you take the necessary precautions to prepare for these new storms and be self-sufficient for 72 hours (see emergency kit below); make sure you clear as many branches or trees as possible near the poles; be careful not to touch the wires!
At a forthcoming council meeting, the Town will submit a list of recommendations to Hydro-Québec and to Ms. Isabelle Charest, MNA for Brome-Missisquoi and Minister responsible for Sport, Recreation and Outdoors;
A meeting is scheduled with Ms. Charest to review the list and outline the issues identified by the Town;
