Recent highlights in Ekurhuleni
Power
A 33kV feeder cable fault at Z3 POD switched off the substation. The faulty feeder is isolated, and supply is returning to customers not dependent on it; the Energy Department is locating the fault before repairs. The official update expects full restoration by midday, with an ERT to follow. Power has returned in parts of Verwoerdpark, Florentia, New Market and Alberton North; Mayberry Park Ext. 1 remains a separate outage, with restoration estimated at about 16:00 today.
Water
Water supply remains interrupted in Bedfordview and Essexwold, with low pressure to no water reported at Lower Townsend, Grobler Road, Virgin Active, Kloof Road, Arterial Road, Allen Road, and Van Buuren. On day three, Councillor Jill Humphreys reports slight overnight improvement in central Bedfordview, but incoming pressure remains too low to reach many streets; she says the area is vulnerable because its reservoir is elevated and gravity-fed.
Internet
Internet service is unavailable in Randhart, including Fuhri Street and Meredy Street, while power is on. A service alert reports a fibre outage affecting Vumatel areas in Ekurhuleni; restoration updates are to follow. Internet has also been off in General Albertspark since 01:09. In Randhart, internet started working after a reboot, though the cause is uncertain.
Safety
Two people were reported waiting outside 20 Gladstone in Geduld; the reporter suspects they may be waiting for them to leave the area.
