In 20 seconds
City Power reports restoration in parts of Rosebank, with one Keyes Avenue load centre still affected.
A cable fault has been located; preparation for trenching does not mean repairs are complete.
The operator links the interruption to Wednesday night, 14 October; exact onset and customer total are unknown.
Partial restoration with a local exception
The operator issued the update at 11:41 SAST on 15 October. Its restoration report concerns customers in parts of Rosebank. The stated exception is one load centre supplying Keyes Avenue. This is a defined local exception, rather than evidence that all of Rosebank or every property along the avenue remains without electricity.
City Power says a cable fault has been located and preparations for trenching are under way. These are steps in the response to the remaining interruption. They do not establish that excavation has finished, that the cable has been repaired or that electricity has been restored to the remaining load centre.

When the interruption began and what comes next
The operator links the interruption to Wednesday night, 14 October. That describes a period rather than an exact onset time. The update cannot support a precise duration for any individual connection, and it does not state how many customers lost supply or how many remain affected after the reported partial restoration.
City Power says it will communicate a recovery estimate once repairs commence. No estimate is supplied in this statement, and preparing for trenching is not a promised completion time. Other Rosebank or Hursthill faults cannot automatically be treated as the same event. The report remains specific to the interruption and remaining load centre described by the operator.

For essential electricity planning, the runtime calculator compares device demand with battery capacity. The internet backup planner helps assess connectivity needs. These tools support preparation; they do not check a local connection, identify the network fault or predict when City Power will complete its work.
