The City does not carry out maintenance from Stage 3 and above of load-shedding. Routine maintenance work is cancelled in the event of higher stages of load-shedding being implemented.

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.
