At Hydro Ottawa, we believe that trees are an integral part of the health and enhancement of our community. While trees and electricity seldom mix, we believe they can be good neighbours. When planned responsibly and properly maintained, power outages are reduced by 40 per cent.
You may notice increased construction presence throughout the day. Traffic control and lane reductions will be implemented to ensure that roads and sidewalks remain safe for residents and staff. Construction activities will occur on the City of Ottawa Road Right-of-Way allowance or Hydro Ottawa easement – a legal right of access for Hydro Ottawa to install and maintain its electrical distribution system.
We recognize that any construction activities and power outages can be disruptive. As mentioned above, a planned power outage will be required to proceed with this work. All impacted customers are contacted by phone, text or email – depending on the communication preferences indicated on their account. Further, notification will be provided if the power outage extends beyond the original duration.
Hydro Ottawa would like to take this opportunity to thank all residents and businesses for their patience and understanding throughout the delivery of this important project.
