Metro technicians are working around the clock to locate and repair various cable faults that have left parts of Germiston without power.
Elsburg, Delville, Parkhill Gardens, Tedstoneville, Germiston South, parts of Primrose, Albemarle and the Castleviews area have been off since yesterday evening (September 5) due to faulty cables.
Furthermore, in a separate but related incident the team will this morning replace a transformer in the Solheim area.
This is after a cable fault affecting Sun and Polaris streets led to the transformer failing yesterday evening.
“Our technicians are still trying to locate exactly where the cable faults are so that repair work can resume as soon as possible,” said Sam Modiba, municipal spokesman.
The metro apologises for the inconvenience caused and assures affected consumers that work will continue until services are restored.
It it is hoped that the power will be restored by the end of today.
