Parts of the city have been affected by intermittent power outages through the afternoon, and it has to do with the weather.

 

SaskPower Spokesman James Parker says heavy ice build-up on the Crown utility's main transmission line between Swift Current and Moose Jaw is causing conductors to touch and trip off the line.  He says customers may continue to see outages for the next few hours because of the ice build-up.

 

Parker adds, SaskPower regrets the inconvenience to their customers, but says there's nothing much that can be done when Mother Nature doesn't co-operate.
