Original story:
Nearly 2,500 Hydro One customers in the Walden area lost power overnight due to an equipment failure.
The utility estimated power would be restored as of 7:30 a.m. However, the outage map on Hydro One's website shows the outage is ongoing.
Power was lost just before 10 p.m. last night.***
Affected areas include the townships of Graham, Waters, Lorne, Truman, Nairn and Hyman, Drury, Whitefish Lake 6FN, Trill, Denison, Louise, Dieppe, Fairbank and Foster.
***An earlier version of this story said the outage started just before midnight. That is incorrect. It started just before 10 p.m.
