Latest City Power update
Supply restored after a cable fault, according to City Power.

What City Power said during the outage

The first notice named Extension 2 and said the morning shift would investigate because of safety concerns. A subsequent update said operators were on site investigating and named customers in Extension 4 as well. That update gave no cause, customer count or restoration estimate. The cable fault was identified in the restoration notice.

What the update means for individual addresses

In a reply after the restoration notice, one person said power was still off in Eldorado Park. They gave no extension or address, so the report cannot be matched to either of the two areas in the utility’s notice. If your property is still without power, report it to City Power with your address so it can check your supply.
