Power outages have plagued parts of Saskatoon over the last 16 hours.
In total, four outages have been reported. The latest was the result of a truck knocking over a power pole near Superstore on 8th street Friday morning. Crews restored the power by approximately 10:00 a.m.
Thursday night power was out in parts of eastern Saskatoon after lightning struck a transformer. Another outage was caused by a bird flying into a power line, and another was the result of a tree blowing into a power line.
The city said none of the outages were directly related, and power is back on in all areas.
