When will power be restored?
Neither City Power nor Eskom has given restoration times for the outages above. City Power says it will share an estimated restoration time for Westbury and Coronationville once the cause is known (City Power). Switch off non-essential appliances while the power is off, so the network is not overloaded when supply returns.
