Power failure in Forchheim: These districts were affected!

Power failure in Forchheim: These districts were affected!

On Saturday there was an unpleasant power failure in several districts of Forchheim, which presented many residents with challenges. According to the Stadtwerke Forchheim, the affected areas of Serlbach, Kellerwald, John-F.-Kennedy-Ring and parts of Burk are. The municipal utilities informed the citizens about the situation via Facebook, whereby many were kept up to date.

The cause of the failure was quickly identified: technicians worked intensively on a defective medium -voltage cable. An important concern was to fix the disorder promptly, but short -term power failures were possible during repair work. The condition remained uncertain until the morning whether and when all parts of the city can be supplied again. Even if the initial successes were reported around 2 p.m. and the power supply in Burk and Serlbach could be restored, some streets were still without electricity until after 4 p.m.

Development of the situation

Dissatisfaction among the citizens concerned did not long for long. A resident expressed her criticism about social media, because even after the first view of the hope, not all households were still supplied with electricity. It was not until 6 p.m. that the municipal utilities were finally allowed to give the all -clear: all customers were again supplied with electricity, which resulted in the pent -up relief of residents.

A look at the power failure statistics for Forchheim shows that such events are not rarity. There have been two failures for the city of Forchheim in the current year.
