Zesa Holdings subsidiary, the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company, has warned consumers of delayed turnaround time of reported faults, owing to the increase in the number of faults during the rainy season.
In a public notice released yesterday, ZETDC said trees falling on overhead lines, falling of electricity poles, water seeping into underground cables, and lightning striking critical electricity equipment and infrastructure among other rain-induced faults led to the high prevalence of network faults.
“Due to the increase in the number of faults, ZETDC advises that the turnaround time in attending to these faults and restoring power to consumers may take longer than is normally the case.
“ZETDC is therefore appealing to customers to bear with these delays as efforts are done to minimise these outages and restore service to the affected customers in the shortest possible time,” said ZETDC.
The power distribution firm also warned the public to stay away from fallen power lines to avoid injury as well as treat all circuits as live as power may be restore without notice.
