Prepaid electricity purchases through Saldanha Bay Municipality’s Ontec vending system will be unavailable during scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, 11 November.
The municipality’s official notice sets the start for 22:00 and gives an approximate duration of 30 minutes.
Residents who need to buy electricity should plan purchases outside that window. The stated duration is an estimate, rather than a confirmed completion time.
The notice concerns the ability to purchase prepaid electricity. It does not announce an interruption to electricity supply and should not be read as a municipal power-cut schedule.
This is a planned service interruption checked on 10 November 2026. The maintenance has not yet taken place; consult the municipality’s notices for any change to the timetable.
