By Manitoba Hydro Manitoba Hydro starts this month on a six-month project to upgrade the electricity system in Win- nipeg Beach and Sandy Hook. Work is expected to end in the fall of 2021. The improvement project will increase voltage from eight kilovolts to 25 kilovolts and upgrade older electrical equipment, including replacing older wood poles installed in the 1950s, in an area from Kernstead Road north to Husavik Road. A similar project took place in the Gimli area four years ago. By increasing the voltage of power lines and substations, Manitoba Hydro can distribute more power to a greater number of customers and meet future growth. The Lake Winnipeg community has seen a steady three per cent growth in recent years — similar to the Steinbach area, one of the fastest growing communities in Canada. The voltage conversion project also allows Mani- toba Hydro to replace older equipment that is at or nearing end of serviceable life. The project includes trimming hazard trees too close to power lines to allow crews to access work sites safely. Tree contact is also one of the leading causes of outages. Trimming will improve reliability and reduce the risk to the public of a downed line. During the project, short power outages will be required to allow work to continue safely. Motorists may also see temporary trafﬁ c delays and detours. For more information about the project and a map RECORD PHOTOS SUBMITTED of the affected area, please see www.hydro.mb.ca/ Trees will have to be removed if they are too close to hydro work. wpgbeach. 30 The Selkirk Record Thursday, May 6, 2021 MB RCMP to release monthly police-reported crime statistics
