Power largely restored to West Island after major outage

Thousands of customers are without electricity in the West Island on Monday evening.

Thousands of people in Montreal’s West Island were without power early Monday evening, with the majority in Dollard-des-Ormeaux followed by Dorval and Kirkland.

Hydro-Quebec said an equipment failure at the hydro station on Source Boulevard caused the outage. Workers were sent to the station to try to determine what led to the failure.

By Monday evening, most of the outages were resolved.
