Ex- cluding Hornepayne, which is in Hydro's North- eastern Region, about |,164 customers were affected. Although operators sos line crew fron Terrace Bay immediately set about locating the, cause of the interruption, its distant location just outside Manitouwadge meant an unusually long delay in re- storing power, especially to customers in Manitou- wadge and Hornepayne. An isolating switch out- side Mdrathon allowed power to be restored to wadge and Hornepayne customers, however, w were without power from 10.36 P.M. to 7.01 A.M. and again from 9.02 a.m. to 9.13 a.m. while the tree was located and re- moved from the line. Willroy and Geco Mines were without power for the whole period. Hydro personnel work- ed throughout the night to find and correct the cause of the interruption.
