MORE than 180 homes were left without power overnight due to an underground cable fault.
An emergency generator was drafted in to bring the electricity back to the homes in Boundary Lane and surrounding roads in WGC.
Power was lost at around 2pm yesterday (Monday).
One resident told the WHT: "We were originally told the power would be back on at 6.30pm, then 10.30pm.
"A generator arrived at 1am but it wasn't connected.
"The engineer forgot his umbrella, so didn't want to stand in the rain!"
