New transformer being installed on overhead network in Sandwick after fault

A NEW transformer is being installed on the overhead power network near the Sandwick school following a fault.

There have been a number of power cuts in the area over the last couple of days, with the village’s swimming pool among the properties reporting disruption.

A spokesperson for SSE Distribution said installation work on the new transformer is expected to be completed this evening (Monday).

“This fault has caused some short interruptions to power supplies, and we’d like to thank customers between Sandwick and Durigarth for their patience while we’ve worked hard to identify and rectify this issue,” they added.
