Restoration statement concerns the afternoon outage
City Power published its statement at 20:29 SAST on 15 October. It says power supply has been fully restored to customers in Noordwyk and identifies the outage as the one reported that afternoon. The statement supports a restored status for this specified interruption, with the restoration claim attributed to the operator.
That scope matters for readers checking a local supply problem. The statement does not independently verify electricity at every address or resolve every separate fault in Noordwyk. It provides no affected customer total or address list. A neighbourhood name alone cannot be used to calculate the number of households, businesses or people involved.

Eskom fault attribution, precise duration unknown
The operator identifies an Eskom fault as the reason for this afternoon interruption, but supplies no technical fault description. The available evidence does not establish which equipment failed or how it was repaired. The attribution should therefore remain with City Power rather than being presented as an independently established engineering finding. The precise sequence of restoration work remains unknown.
An afternoon report and an evening publication time do not establish the exact loss or restoration times. No fixed duration can be calculated from them. The relationship with earlier Noordwyk and Sagewood incidents remains unverified, so their timelines cannot be joined into one continuous outage or used to extend this incident’s reported scope.

These planning resources cannot confirm the state of a particular connection or establish when electricity was restored to an individual property.
