Important steps to take if you experience a power outage at your site.
1. Before reporting your outage to the local lines company, please ensure all major appliances including, stoves, cook tops, heaters and water cylinders are first switched off. This ensures a safe re-connection once power has been reconnected to your site.
2. Please check the link relating to your area first before calling the lines company. In most cases the lines company will be aware of your outage before reports are received.
