Hard work and dedication of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s Electricity team saw electricity supply temporarily restored to Humewood on Sunday afternoon, 19 June after it was initially thought that supply could only be restored on Wednesday.
This followed after a high voltage circuit breaker blew at the Humewood sub-station, situated at the corner of La Roche Drive and Humewood Road on Saturday morning and, as a result, areas in the vicinity of La Roche Drive as well as San Antonio, Glenton Heights, Kings Beach, Playland and Elizabeth Hotel were without electricity.
Circuit breakers are designed to absorb the impact when something goes wrong at a substation. A clean-up operation started almost immediately and workers, with the assistance of contractors, worked through the night to ensure the temporary supply.
The following substations were off: Mutualhof, Elmdor, San Antonio, Granten Heights, San Remo, Pendennis, Local Lelane, Elizabeth and Cathcart Mini.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused by this unforeseen incident.
