A big section of eastern Langley was without power Thursday.

The power went out just after 11 a.m. on July 21. Crews are on scene shortly after. Just before 1 p.m., BC Hydro announced the estimated time that power would resume was 2 p.m.

As the outage stretched on, the local library branch announced it had to change operations, Tweeting “ALERT - FVRL Aldergrove Library is without power and the library will be closed to customers, however they will be offering holds pick-up at the door via FVRL Express.”

BC Hydro said the outage impacted 2,233 customers initially but that number dropped to just over 120 about 1 p.m.
