UPDATE: Power outage over for Aberdeen, areas south of Kamloops

4:10 p.m.

Power has been restored to the neighbourhoods as of a few minutes ago.

3:30 p.m.

Currently, 3,707 customers are without power in Aberdeen, Knutsford and others south of Kamloops as B.C. Hydro crews are en route to solve the problem.

First reported a couple of hours ago, B.C. Hydro doesn't currently list a cause of the issue on their website, but expects crews to be on scene at 3:45 p.m.

The area involved in the outage is rather large, with the northern boundary just south of Highway 1 in Aberdeen, stretching south along Highway 5A and Long Lake Road.

An estimated time for when power will return has not been given by B.C. Hydro.

Crews will be heading to an outage affecting 3700 customers in #kamloops. They’ll share updates here: https://t.co/lsM5TkEwfd pic.twitter.com/D7U0Plrq9D
