Businesses in Invercargill's CBD have been forced to close their doors. Photo: Luisa GiraoPower has been restored after large parts of the Invercargill CBD were left without power this morning because of an underground cable fault. The outage affected the Invercargill inner city and Bond and Mersey Sts. A little over an hour later it had been restored and the fault was no longer listed on the PowerNet website. An Otago Daily Times reporter in Invercargill says many of the shops and businesses in the CBD were closed while the power was out.
