*Information is complete and correct at time of publication, but subject to change due to weather and other unforeseen conditions.

*It is the standard practice to notify customers of planned maintenance via a pamphlet delivered door-to-door ahead of work.

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.

Please note: Eskom's load-shedding typically cause power faults due to nuisance tripping and increased service requests.

Please wait at least 30 minutes before logging a service request alerting the City that the power in your area has not come back after load-shedding. Sometimes, the issue is already being resolved. City teams will do their best to attend to any outages as soon as possible.

City's service channels (don't log the same request multiple times on multiple channels as this contributes to delays):

Call Centre: 0860 103 089

SMS: 31220 (standard charges apply)
