The power outage in Faerie Glen, Olympus and Boardwalk was as a result of maintance at the substation in Koedoeberg street.
The electricity in Fearie Glen and surrounding areas have been restored after residents were left without electricity for more than nine hours on Wednesday.
According to Councillor Karen Meyer, the power outage in Faerie Glen, Olympus and Boardwalk was as a result of maintance at the substation in Koedoeberg street.
Meyer confirmed that the electricity were switched back on just after 18:00 on Wednesday evening.
“Many residents were annoyed as they had no electricity for more than nine hours.”
Meyer confirmed that the cause of the outage was not due to vandalism or cable thieves.
She added that the same areas also experienced a power outage a week ago also due to maintance at a substation.
