Emergency shutdown this Sunday (early morning) in some parts of Takanini/Manurewa
We wanted to let you know about an emergency power shutdown early morning, this Sunday 17 March from 3.30am to 6.00am.
Streets affected include parts of: Hyperion Drive, Porchester Road, Alfriston Road and Taipan Place. Affected customers will also be sent an email or text message.
Background Information:
Customers were connected to a generator on Monday 11 March after a fault on the network with a high voltage cable.
The outage on Sunday will allow us to reconnect these customers safely to the electricity network and to disconnect them from generation.
We advise those affected to switch off all sensitive electrical equipment for the duration of the shutdown. Please remember, for your own safety, to treat all wiring and sockets as live at all times.
If you use medical equipment that relies on electricity you should let your retailer know and ensure you are prepared for power disruption. If there is an immediate health threat, please contact your health provider or call 111.
Thanks for your patience.
