Approximately 100 Manitoba Hydro customers were without power for nearly two hours Tuesday afternoon due to a faulty wire. 

Hydro Spokesperson Bruce Owen says there was a fault in an underground wire in the area of Edelweiss Crescent which he adds will be repaired at a later date. Owen notes in the meantime, those customers will be getting power from other hydro lines that feed the community of Niverville. He says there is no concern of a lack of power in Niverville because of this.

The outage occurred just after 1:30 Tuesday afternoon and was restored around 3:15.
