Lakeland Power hopes everyone will be safe as they begin to clear off their roofs. The utility wants residents to be careful shovelling the snow off their roofs as there isn’t just a hazard of falling but overhead wires supplying power to the house are up there to. Before throwing the snow off, take note of the location of your hydro meter as the falling snow and ice can damage the meter making a costly repair to the home owner. The power company also warns that rain this weekend could make snow heavy causing branches to break which could lead to power outages.
