Ward 36 (Erandwane heritage area) is experiencing recurring power outages approximately every 3rd week due to an aged transformer, with 9 reports this week at an average severity of 2.9/5. Immediate transformer inspection and planned replacement are required to prevent escalation, especially given heritage-area constraints that may affect installation timelines.
Submit a formal request to MSEDCL (Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd.) for an emergency technical audit of the aged transformer serving the Erandwane heritage area in Ward 36, citing 9 citizen complaints and documented outage frequency of every 3 weeks
Arrange a joint site inspection with MSEDCL engineers and PMC Electrical Department at the transformer location in Ward 36 to assess transformer load capacity, oil condition, winding health, and remaining operational life
Coordinate with PMC Heritage Conservation Cell to obtain necessary clearances for transformer replacement or installation of a new unit in the heritage zone, ensuring compliance with heritage-area guidelines for equipment placement
Issue a formal proposal from the Corporator's office to MSEDCL for procurement and installation of a new distribution transformer (likely 200–400 KVA range) with cost-sharing or full MSEDCL funding, supported by the audit report from Step 2
Deploy a temporary mobile/portable transformer or arrange load redistribution across nearby feeders in Ward 36 to reduce outage frequency during the replacement procurement period
Oversee installation and commissioning of the new transformer at the identified location in Ward 36, including earthing, cabling, and safety fencing as per heritage-area norms
Establish a quarterly preventive maintenance schedule with MSEDCL for all transformers in Ward 36 and set up a citizen feedback mechanism through the Corporator's office to track future outage complaints
