South End / Summerstrand / Arlington Outage - High Voltage Towers

Please note that the schedules sent in mitigation of the current outage, are divided into 3 groups – with 2 hour slots.

The timeslot in which a group falls, means that the group will be ON for those 2 hours, then off for 4 hours and on again for 2 hours, off for 4 hours, on repeat.

This rotational schedule ensures that customers will have electricity for a maximum of 8 hours per day (24-hour period) – 1 group on, 2 groups off . This cycle is repeated over a 24-hour cycle.

At this stage, this is the most effective way for NMBM to alleviate the impact and inconvenience of the outage.

Thanks

At Perl Rd sub, Livingstone 22kV CB tripped affecting Perl Rd, Lawson Rd, Fairclough, Archie Place, Korsten, Sidwell, surrounds. Staff attending to restoration of supply, no timeframe.

Thanks
