A brief power outage in the south end of Winnipeg left 2500 customers without power at 11:45 a.m. today.

Construction crews on Lennox Avenue cut an underground power wire causing the lack of electricity.

Manitoba Hydro was able to quickly reroute power from other Hydro towers to restore customers. The outage lasted approximately ten minutes and affected neighbourhoods in St.Vital, St. Boniface, and Windsor Park.
