# City Power says it has made significant progress in restoring electricity to areas affected by the Fordsburg substation fire. An underground fire in tunnels containing high-voltage power cables led to the shutdown of the substation on Sunday evening, disrupting electricity supply. This loss of power also affected water supply. City Power spokesperson, Isaac Mangena, says electricity was restored to most of the affected substations yesterday. He says the Bree, Braamfontein and John Ware substations remain offline:
