City of Lethbridge launches real-time power outage map
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Residents of Lethbridge can now learn about power outages as they happen.
Manager of Compliance and Control Tracy Brason says the interactive map will show where a currently-active or planned outage will be, as well as information about how long it is expected to last.
“We’ve added this software to basically link up with our internal control systems that run the power grid for the City of Lethbridge. The same information the operator gets, the same information our customers are getting. This, at three o’clock in the morning, will update for an outage that’s occurring anywhere in the city.”
Similar versions of this service have been available internally for quite some time, but Brason explains that it took a lot of tweaking to make it accessible and usable for the public.
