Street to Clergy Street East; King Street from Queen Street to Princess Street; and
Princess Street from King Street to Division Street. The second will affect those in the
area bordered by Queen, King, Johnson and Bagot Streets.

Starting at 11 p.m. on Sunday, June 8, the power will be out for approximately eight hours
on Clarence and Market Streets from Ontario to King Street; on Johnson Street from
Wellington to Ontario Street and on King Street from Market to Johnson Streets. This
outage will allow Utilities Kingston to make a number of coordinated repairs to: an
underground cable at King and Queen Streets, a leaking splice at Princess and King Streets
and an abnormally hot oil switch at Clarence and King Streets.
-
Two half-hour outages are planned for overnight on Sunday, June 15, to Monday, June 16, to
