Do not allow any person, technician or contractor who claims to work for City Power onto your property without verifying their credentials with the entity’s Risk Control Unit.
Virgil James, the acting spokesperson for City Power, said technicians must have an identity card with a photo, identity verification number, expiry date, hologram and contact numbers 011 490 7911, 011 490 7553 and 011 490 7900, which are numbers for the control unit, with them.
James said technicians most likely to request access will be meter readers, cut-off teams, contractors or meter maintenance teams.
“We have become aware of impostors and urge residents to be highly vigilant and report any suspicious persons or vehicles. Risk Control will dispatch a response vehicle immediately to apprehend suspects,” said James.
