Toronto Hydro is making efforts to restore power to residents in the Moss Park area following a significant outage. The power interruption began on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 8:11 a.m., affecting nearly 600 customers. The utility company has indicated that power is expected to be restored by 11:00 a.m. on Thursday.
Details of the Power Outage
The outage was caused by a fault in an underground cable. Toronto Hydro revealed that this issue seems to stem from a third-party dig-in at an active construction site. This unrelated work has inadvertently inflicted damage on Toronto Hydro’s infrastructure.
Repair Process
The utility company has described the repair operation as “complex and time-consuming.” Their teams are focused on safely identifying, repairing, and testing the damaged utility lines before they can bring the services back online. Initial estimates suggested a restoration timeframe of 8:30 a.m. on Thursday; however, that was adjusted to a later time as work progressed.
Areas Affected by the Outage
The outage has impacted a specific region within Moss Park, defined by the following boundaries:
- Queen Street East (north)
- Front Street East (south)
- Jarvis Street (west)
- Parliament Street (east)
Toronto Hydro is committed to restoring power as quickly and safely as possible. The company appreciates the patience of the affected customers during this inconvenience. For ongoing updates, residents can access their online outage map for real-time information regarding the situation.
