Hundreds of Manitoba Hydro customers were without power this afternoon in the Steinbach area.

The Steinbach Fire Department was called to the Steinbach Landfill shortly after 1:30 pm after a hydro line went down. Chief Kel Toews says no one was injured and it is not immediately known what caused the line to fall.

Moments later Manitoba Hydro crews arrived on scene to fix the problem.

According to a Manitoba Hydro spokesperson, there were 1,216 customers impacted by the outage. Power was restored at 2:05 pm. The outage impacted customers east of Highway 12 and southeast of Steinbach.
