Residents in Brisco and Spillimacheen are still waiting to hear whether BC Hydro will compensate them for electrical damage done to appliances and household wiring during a June 30 power surge.

BC Hydro is conducting an investigation into the surge, which was caused when a tree hit power lines in the area, and had originally expected to make a decision based on its findings in mid-to-late July.

However, when contacted by The Valley Echo this week, a hydro spokeswoman said the results of the investigation still haven’t come in, though they are expected “soon.”
