Wyndham Street South – South of Howitt Street to York Road
Notice date: February 28, 2025
About the project
Alectra Utilities will be rebuilding the electrical distribution systems along Wyndham Street South and York Road, south of Howitt Street. The scope will include the replacement of poles, anchors, conductor, and underground services. As a part of the rebuild, the existing poles which range from 35 feet to 55 feet are being replaced with new 35 feet to 55 feet poles to meet their current construction standards and to improve ground clearances.
Work begins March 10
Work is expected to start on or about Monday, March 10 and is expected to be completed within 3 weeks of the start date, weather permitting. Most of the construction will occur during weekdays between the hours of 8:00am to 4:00pm.

If your power is affected, you will receive notifications by phone or by notice on your front door/business. Please ensure that your primary contact phone number attached to your Alectra Utilities/Guelph Hydro account is up to date.
