It was a hectic couple of hours for people around Belleville.
City residents and visitors alike were hit with an unplanned city-wide power outage yesterday (SAT) afternoon around the lunch hour.
Belleville Police say they were in the process of calling in extra help when the power was finally restored.
Officers were kept busy with calls for service, as well as directing traffic at busy intersections during the blackout.
Police say the city-wide outage was not due to a car crash in the city’s west end, although that crash did add to the chaos.
