The Boardwalk Pumpstation in Wilderness is experiencing power outages. According to Emergency Services, there are still a few houses and the pump station without power supply.
The Wilderness Heights Reservoir is empty, due to the inability to pump water as a result of no electricity supply. This affects Wilderness Heights and surrounding areas. Two water trucks have been dispatched from 5:00 this morning to temporarily provide water to residents. One truck will be parked at Bundu Supersave, while another one will be roaming the outer-lying areas (Remskoen Rd, Erica Rd, etc.).
Once power is restored, we request that water be used sparingly during this period and allowance be made for the reservoir level to stabilize in between load-shedding.
Issued by George Municipality, 13 September 2023 @19:00
Consumers are reminded to PLEASE use electricity sparingly when power returns after a 4-hour loadshedding slot tonight, 13 September 2023. Please do not switch high-usage equipment on immediately after Loadshedding.
Consumers are urged to turn off high-usage equipment and where possible to not switch on appliances such as stoves and kettles for at least 30 minutes after load shedding is scheduled to return. This will reduce the risk of overload tripping on the network.
Reporting power outages
Please do not phone the after-hours number or the Electrotechnical Department to report that you have no power immediately after load shedding is scheduled to be lifted. Please be aware of the rotational switching on i.e. areas are switched on one by one and not all at the same time to avoid overloading the system. Please wait at least 30 minutes before reporting no power. The Electrotechnical Directorate will be aware of a possible substation trip that needs to be sorted out.
Parts of Thembalethu were experiencing unplanned outages this afternoon. Our electricians went out to investigate. Repairs were done and the network is being normalized. All power supply should per restored after loadshedding (Load shedding is currently in progress from 16:00 until 20:30 tonight).
The Liebenstraum Reservoir serving Wilderness Heights and surrounding area is under immense pressure after unplanned power outages and extended periods of loadshedding during the day.
Two water trucks have been dispatched from George to provide water to residents.
One truck will be parked at Bundu Supersave, while another one will be roaming the outer lying areas (Remskoen Rd, Erica Rd, etc).
We request that water be used sparingly during this period and allowance be made for the reservoir level to stabilize after loadshedding
