⚡ POWER OUTAGE UPDATE – PARSONS VLEI

The electricity team has been on site and confirmed that the outage is due to a main cable fault. Previously, the red phase was still holding, but all three phases are now down.

Unfortunately, a temporary supply is not currently possible because the nearest CDU with power is approximately 500+ metres away.

The team will try to reach the fault today, but there is a possibility they may not be able to do so because the test section has too many faults to access.

I will keep residents updated as soon as I receive further information.

Kind regards,
Cllr Vernon Boggenpoel
