Major power cut affects nearly 2,000 properties in Exeter

Western Power Distribution are reporting two separate incidents of power loss this morning in Exeter. The first initially affected 1,096 households and business establishments in the Countess Wear area, of which 289 are still waiting for their power to be restored, hopefully by 12.30. This was due to 3rd party damage.

In a separate incident, 877 properties were affected in Haven Road, which is affecting the South Street area of the city. Western Power Distribution engineers are currently en route and hope to restore power as soon as possible, but could not give us a time.
