The City of Cape Town has asked residents to be patient as the necessary routine maintenance on the electrical infrastructure in various areas of the metro continues next week.
According to the City, this will necessitate supply interruptions at times in some areas for the safety of all concerned. The City said routine regular planned maintenance takes place daily in various areas across the metro.
“The City informs residents that maintenance will take place to allow them time to plan for the outage and to allow our teams sufficient time to complete the required maintenance tasks. Routine maintenance is also preceded by a door-to-door pamphlet drop,” the City said.
These areas will be affected by the routine electricity supply interruptions due to necessary maintenance:
Tips:
- Where possible, please switch off appliances at the wall socket ahead of maintenance to reduce the risk of damage caused by power surges.
- The supply could be restored at any time, therefore residents should remember to treat all electrical installations as live for the full duration of the interruption.
- Planned maintenance takes place during Eskom’s loadshedding.
