Mayor, Hydro One meet on power lines
July 23, 2026
The Independent
Dawn-Euphemia’s mayor has had his first meeting with Hydro One about power lines which will dissect some homes in the township.
Al Broad told council Monday he met with officials last week, and more meetings are in the offing.
Hydro One is waiting for the OK to build the Longwood to Lakeshore Line.
Broad has been a vocal opponent of the route which is placed over three homes and barns and is close to four more and miles of farmland.
It’s expected some of those homes will be sold to Hydro One and demolished. Broad worries that will reduce the township’s tax base.
Broad expects work with Hydro One on some compensation in September. Staff will also work with the utility to make sure construction goes smoothly once it does begin.
