What to look for in the next update
Check City Power’s next Roodepoort notices for the name of your area. A notice identifying the fault or confirming that power has returned to specific areas would give affected customers more information. If your address still has no supply, use City Power’s fault reporting channels and keep the reference number for follow-up. When checking a notice, look at its publication time as well as the area it names. If you report the fault directly, note when you first lost power so you can give the utility a clearer account of what happened at your address.
