Manitoba Hydro has announced a planned power interruption has been scheduled for parts of Steinbach Friday afternoon.

It will last from about one o'clock to four o'clock, impacting customers in an area from Valerie Lane north to Parkview Crescent and Penfeld Drive west to Golfview Crescent.

Approximately two hundred customers will be without hydro those three hours.

The interruption is required to allow Manitoba Hydro to safely install equipment to accommodate traffic lights and intersection improvements at the corner of Highway 12 and Penfeld Drive.
