UPDATE:

As of 12:42 p.m., Manitoba Hydro has successfully connected a feeder line from Oakville. Power will continue to be restored starting with areas of critical importance. Water and Wastewater infrastructure are our main priorities at this time.

Manitoba Hydro has declared their main focus today is to completely restore the City of Portage

Just before 10 a.m., Hydro officials stated they want to access outlying areas around Portage to see where the damage is, and to determine the severity of the damage to their system.

Reports on social media show people in the southeastern part of the city are back online, as is Southport.

Some good news this morning.

Power's been restored to parts of the west end of Portage.

We aren't sure how extensive it is, but we know eastern parts of the city are still in the dark.

We've contacted Manitoba Hydro, and we'll update you as soon as possible.
