DAVIDSON—A build up of ice and snow at the SaskPower Davidson substation is what caused a Valentine’s Day power outage in Davidson and district.

At about 11 a.m., Feb. 14, according to SaskPower, the ice and snow caused a trip on the feeder to approximately 1,100 local customers.

SaskPower crew members de-iced the substation and had power restored at 11:55 a.m.

Fortunately temperatures were mild at the time, around 0° degrees Celsius, so the power outage didn’t have people freezing while their furnaces were down
