The Electrotechnical Services department will be undertaking extensive testing on their power transformer fleet throughout George, up to and including the 25 June 2021. This involves isolating one of the two transformers at each substation, performing  the necessary tests and then re-energising the substation.

Each substation has two transformers, and while testing is in progress on a transformer, it will mean that the substations will only be running on one transformer, and our usual “backup”  or failsafe system will therefore be non-existent.

Electrotechnical Services is able to manage the loading while only running a substation on one transformer,  but there is always the possibility of an unexpected failure or fault which will lead to loss of power on that substation. Re-energising the alternative transformer will be possible, however, this will take some time depending on the progress of the testing procedure.

This notice serves as information only, and whilst the utmost care will be taken to ensure a firm power supply remains in place, faults may occur, and this could lead to prolonged outages. Please keep an eye on our social media channels and/or App for updates relevant to your area.

OPENBARE KENNISGEWING: Neem kennis – Transformator-toetsing kan lei tot krag toevoer wat onderbree

Die Elektrotegniese Dienste afdeling, sal  tot en met 25 Junie 2021 uitgebreide toetse doen op hul kragtransformators oor die hele George. Dit behels dat een van die twee transformators by elke substasie geïsoleer word, die nodige toetse gedoen word en die substasie dan weer aangeskakel word.

Elke substasie het twee transformators, en terwyl ‘n transformator getoets word, sal dit beteken dat die substasies slegs op een transformator sal werk, en ons gewone ondersteuning of foutveilige stelsel sal dus nie in werking wees nie.

Elektrotegniese Dienste kan die elektriese toevoer beheer terwyl ‘n substasie slegs op een transformator bestuur word, maar daar is altyd die moontlikheid van ‘n onverwagte  fout wat sal lei tot kragverlies op die substasie. Die alternatiewe transformator kan weer aangeskakel word, maar dit sal ‘n rukkie neem, afhangend van die vordering van die toetsprosedure.

Hierdie kennisgewing dien slegs as inligting, en hoewel die grootste sorg geneem sal word om te verseker dat ‘n vaste kragbron op sy plek bly, kan foute voorkom, en dit kan lei tot langdurige onderbrekings. Hou ons sosiale mediakanale en / of App dop vir opdaterings wat relevant is vir u omgewing.

The Electrotechnical department is currently assessing the damage and addressing where they can. Please note the Call Centre is currently overwhelmed with calls and as a result residents are not able to get through.

Issued George Municipality

Ek het op Maandag ‘n onderhoud met ‘n joernalis van ‘n rekenmeesters-webblad gehad oor die verhouding tussen rekenmeesters en munisipaliteite en hoe rekenmeesters vir besighede kan help om die ekonomie uit te bou. Die joernalis het toe op ‘n stadium vir my gevra hoe die regmaak van slaggate in George hanteer word.

Ek het toe verduidelik hoe ons Munisipale-App gebruik kan word om klagtes aan te meld tesame met ‘n foto wat aangeheg kan word. Hierdeur kry die klagte dan die nodige aandag. Vir mense buite George is hierdie aksies heel vreemd. Ek vertel toe verder dat elke klagte ‘n verwysingsnommer toegeken word. Elke Vrydag is daar dan ‘n vergadering van die Dienslewerings Moniteringskomitee waar klagtes en hul afhandeling bespreek word. By die vergadering word die meer moeilike probleme bespreek om oplossings te vind.

Hierdie vergadering hanteer enigiets van oorgroeide bosse op erwe of rommel by bushaltes tot straatligte wat buite werking is. Die komitee wat hierdie klagtes hanteer vervul gevolglik ‘n belangrike rol om stelselmagtig toe te sien dat verbeteringe in dienslewering aangebring.

Die voordeel van die Munisipale-App is dat elke klagte wat aangemeld word ‘n verwysingsnommer toegeken word wat dan verseker dat die vordering op die werk opgevolg kan word. Rekord word ook gehou van soortgelyke klagtes wat gedurig plaasvind en gevolglik is dit moontlik om te verdere klagtes aan te spreek.

Die moniteringskomitee is dus deel van die ketting wat met die aanmelding van ‘n klagte op die Munisipale-App begin, waarna die betrokke Direktoraat  die klagte hanteer met die moniteringskomitee wat elke week ‘n oorsigrol speel oor die vordering.

Die Gemeenskaps-Direktoraat is tans baie bedrywig om ons dorp skoon te maak met ongeveer 180 tydelike werkers wat aangestel is. Onwettige stortings vind ook in baie wyke plaas wat ook gedurig aandag kry.

In sommige wyke word voormalige stortingsgronde in groente- of blommetuine omskep deur die gemeenskap wat daar woon. Dit is ‘n aanduiding dat gemeenskappe ‘n verskil kan maak om hul wyke te verbeter.

Ons het onlangs die geleentheid gehad om in Maraiskamp die sosialeverpligtings-projek van Kathaka RAW te gaan besigtig. Hierdie is ‘n projek wat ‘n privaat-maatskappy in samewerking met gemeenskaplede geloods het om te help om herwinbare rommel op te tel en daarna in “skips” te plaas. Die herwinbare goedere word verkoop met die vergoeding wat terugvloei na gemeenskaplede. Die maatskappy se aktiewe betrokkenheid word waardeer en is van groot waarde vir die Munisipaliteit.

Ander maatskappye kan beslis ook ‘n rol speel om toe te sien dat gemeenskappe eienaarskap neem van hul eie gebiede. Vennootskappe tussen die Munisipaliteit en besighede kan moontlik bydra tot die toekenning van speelgrond-toerusting aan gemeenskappe wat self verantwoordelikheid neem om hulle gebiede skoon te hou.
