Field notes
The page describes a suburb-based feed, with one-tap reports for power, water, or internet disruptions and alerts when conditions change. Its examples include an Avondale power status with a timestamp and report count, plus a neighbor's note about a ZESA truck. These are presented as sample community reports, not official utility notices. The page says reports omit a user's location and identity, though its statements about whether posting requires Google sign-in conflict.
