Transport of Storage Tanks to Cause Planned Power Outages in Southern Manitoba

This week, eight massive storage tanks are being transported through southern Manitoba, with each tank approximately the size of a two-storey building. As the tanks are moved along specific highways, authorities anticipate short-term power outages in various communities located along the transportation route. These outages are a precautionary measure to ensure safety during the transportation process and to help facilitate the movement of the oversized cargo. Local governments and service providers are working together to keep residents informed about the timing and location of these planned outages. Residents have been advised to prepare accordingly to reduce the inconvenience caused by the temporary loss of power.
