SOL PLAATJE MUNICIPALITY PUBLIC NOTICE: FRIDAY, 06 JUNE 2025, 15:00
UPDATE 7 - DAY 2: POWER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION IN HOMEVALE, HOMELITE, AND PARTS OF ROODEPAN
We wish to assure the affected residents that the municipality's Electrical Department is embarking on a last-ditch effort to restore supply today.
Progress on HA Morris Substation repair:
• Filling the tank of repaired transformer with oil - they have reached the 9,000 litre mark and target is 14,000.
- This will allow for the energising of feeders to areas currently offline.
Failed attempt to restore supply to:
• Lower Roodepan's White City, Mintdraft, Old Roodepan, and Erwe.
• Sunset Manor will also be reconnected.
Other Areas That Will Be Back Online Are:
• Homevale and Homelite
Cause of the outage: Emanates from persistent vandalism and theft at H.A Morris Substation. It came under attack again Thursday morning.
We regret the inconvenience and are pleading for patience while every effort is being undertaken to restore supply to the few areas still offline.
