The municipality is planning to cut power in parts of Parow next month to carry out maintenance on a substation.
The cuts will be from 6.30am to 11.30am on either Sunday March 12 or Sunday March 19, depending on the weather, according to the City’s electrical generation and distribution department.
The industrial area and parts of Ravensmead and Klipkop will be affected.
“The interruption will enable City officials to carry out the necessary maintenance work at the Parow South main substation,” said mayoral committee member for energy Beverley van Reenen.
Residents should switch off appliances to avoid damage caused by power surges when the electricity comes back on, and all electrical installations should be treated as live for the full duration of the interruption.
