Power failure affecting Waterkloof Ridge and nearby suburbs
1 April 2019
At around 3h00, on Sunday, March 31 2019, three cables that transmit electricity to Waterkloof Ridge and nearby suburbs were damaged – leaving residents in the area without power. City of Tshwane’s technicians were dispatched and are still onsite making every effort to effect repairs.
Furthermore, the delay in bringing back power supply to the area has been stalled by the fact that the City’s workmen had to break the slab and dig the ground in order to access some of the damaged cables. Last night, the first cable was energised but it got burnt.
The following areas remain affected:
- Waterkloof Ridge
- Erasmuskloof
- Monument Park
It is estimated that power supply to the suburbs mentioned above will be restored around evening time.
Consumers are advised to treat all electrical points as live.
Affected customers are urged to report power failures by SMS. SMS the word power followed by your account number to 44676.
