Power outage in west Calgary
POSTED AT 1:49 PM Saturday, November 25
It was a cold morning and even colder for thousands of people on the west side of the city.
Just after nine o'clock Saturday morning the power went out for about 3,000 Enmax customers in Westgate, Westbrook, and Strathcona Park.
The problem was found to be an underground cable and Enmax officials say it was not related to the cold weather.
Power was restored about an hour and a half later.
Enmax says that even in this cold most modern homes can hold their heat for up to four hours.
The power company reminds people not to try to heat your home with a barbeque no matter how cold it gets.
If you believe you have a real emergency call 911.
Oh...and don't stick lit candles up your butts either.
