Thousands of residents were without power in Maple Ridge Monday afternoon.

The outage that initially affected 2,193 households took place at 12:36 p.m., June 15, and spanned a wide area east of 240A Street and north of Lougheed Highway, according to BC Hydro.

By 1:15 only 418 households were without power between Dewdney Trunk Road and Lougheed Highway and east of 280th Street.

Power was restored to the area by 2 p.m.

The outage was determined by BC Hydro crews to be caused by trees down across wires.
