Power has been restored to much of Portage la Prairie, following an outage earlier this morning. The lights went out in Portage's west end, downtown, and north end just before 10:30 this morning, with many streetlights left dark.

Power came back on in Portage's west end before 10:45. The cause of the temporary outage isn't known, but a call has been made to Manitoba Hydro for more details.
