Release — Toronto Hydro-Electric System Limited emergency crews and customer care staff have been working through the night to restore power following heavy flooding across Toronto. At the height of the event, approximately 300,000 customers were without power. The main issue related to a lack of supply from Hydro One stations in Toronto due to flooding. All but 35,000 customers, mainly in the west end were restored by 3 a.m. The remaining 35,000 customers within the boundaries of Highway 401, Hwy 427, Lakeshore Blvd and Jane Street extending over towards the Humber River should expect to be restored by mid-day.
