are without power, "The cause of the outage is not yet know and a site investigation is underway" HOW can a site investigation be underway if the cause is not known - somebody is telling BIG porkies !!!! The real problem is the total lack of preventative maintenance. Under the "old" local power board model, there was ongoing preventative maintenance every week. NOW under the "new" private ownership model, it's a case of until it CRAPS OUT - do nothing. Go back through the "power failure" reports of the past few years, its almost always down to a lack of preventative maintenance. .............................
Guessing
