51 communities that should have power by Sunday

NB Power has updated its list of 51 communities that can expect to have their electricity back on before Sunday evening.

The utility is still trying to restore power for thousands of customers across the province.

NB Power is now estimating 90 per cent of customers who lost their power because of post-tropical storm Arthur to be restored by Friday night and 95 per cent by Sunday night.

NB Power said customers affected by damage to their electrical entrance, extended damages to NB Power facilities and difficult to access areas could lead to additional delays.
