These safety measures have impacted negatively on service delivery – leaving the electricity control room with severe staff shortages and increasing backlogs. Residents of ELM are hereby asked to be patient when logging calls to report electricity faults and outages, and allow responding electrician on site the opportunity and space to attend to faults.”
In line with regulations, the municipality will be disinfecting all affected work-stations and buildings. This means temporarily relocating the control room to allow for cleaning and decontaminating. The electricity control room will operate from 06:00 to 22:00 on Monday.
