MIDGARD Lodge, Ovitoto Village, and surrounding areas have been without power since Sunday evening, according to NamPower.
In a press statement issued by NamPower on Monday, the prevailing situation is due to a broken lightning arrester pole at the Hochfeld Substation, which caused damage to the 66kV Red Phase breaker leg.
“NamPower technical personnel are currently attending to the problem,” said NamPower.
The public is cautioned to treat all power lines and electrical points as “live” during power outages, as no prior notification is given when power supply is restored.
NamPower apologizes to the residents of Midgard Lodge, Ovitoto Village, and surrounding areas, as well as the public in general, for any inconvenience that the outage has caused.
