VOLTAGE TEST ON HYDRO SYSTEM As part of a scheduled series of tests, Ontario Hydro will reduce system voltage by 5 per cent on January 16, 1979. The test will cover two one-hour periods - 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 6230 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. - and is not expected to noticeably affect residential, commercial or industrial cust- omers.
