Oudtshoorn, 16 May 2017 – Electricity supply that was lost yesterday in the Northern parts of Oudtshoorn has been restored this afternoon (Tuesday, May 16, 2017).
Municipal workers worked around the clock in an attempt to restore power supply to the residents of North of Wesbank and Oudtshoorn North that have seen themselves without electricity since last night due to a tree that fell on the electricity lines.
The Municipality immediately sent its electricity technicians to the scene to attend the damaged electricity lines.
The electricity will be switched on within 30 minutes of the release of this statement. Consumers are asked to consider the electricity installation to be alive at all times.
We would like to thank the residents of the greater Oudtshoorn for their patience.
