How to report an address still without power

If your address is still without electricity, check City Power’s latest notice for your area and use its fault reporting service. Give the utility the address so it can check the individual connection. The time of the restoration bulletin is the time City Power shared the news. The bulletin gives no precise time when supply returned at each address.
