Transformer Station Planning Continues

Hydro One is now evaluating comments received at this week's public meeting into its plans for a new transformer station for the Rainy River district.

About 20 people attended the meeting in Barwick.

Community Relations officer Marylena Stea says they're now work to complete an environmental study report.

"Probably in November we will release a draft environmental study report," says Stea, "which will be available for thirty days that anyone can look at. If people have comments on the questions they can send them to us."

Hydro One has identified a potential site in Barwick near Westover Road as a preferred location for the station.

Construction would begin in 2011.
