"It's still unclear at this stage what the cause of the fire and the extent of the damage is," it said in a statement on Sunday night.
City Power spokesperson Isaac Mangena said the substation along Fulham and Ripley roads in Brixton had caught fire around 18:00. "Every piece of equipment was reduced to ashes. City Power is now in the process of appointing a contractor to conduct an overall assessment today and give an estimation of the financial losses and the duration required to complete the repairs."Mangena said the Hursthill Service Delivery Centre was in the process of ordering two mini-substations, a Ring Main Unit , cables and joints.
This affected the water supply to the Brixton reservoir and tower zones. Joburg Water said a pumping unit would be arranged for the Helen Joseph Hospital.
