A planned power outage is set for a large part of the Southern Lakes to allow ATCO electric to conduct some work on its network.

According to a notice circulated by the power company on Aug. 29, the outage is scheduled for 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sept. 11. It will affect about 1,050 customers along the South Klondike Highway south of Kookatsoon Lake. It will affect all ATCO customers in Carcross and Tagish.

ATCO states that the planned work will increase the electrical system’s capacity, strengthen infrastructure and install isolation points to improve response during future power outages.
