Nearly two thousand Manitoba Hydro customers in the Red River Valley are without power on one of the coldest mornings of the week.

The utility says the unplanned outage occurred just after 7am in the communities of Morris, St. Jean, Ste. Agathe, and Rosenort to list a few.

Hydro spokesperson Bruce Owen says they are not sure what caused the outage and cannot confirm when power will be restored at this time. We will keep you updated as information comes in.
