Properties still without power days after fallen tree knocked down lines in Banks Peninsula

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

It's "all hands on deck" for operators attempting to restore power to several Banks Peninsula properties still in the dark days after a tree knocked down power lines.

The fallen tree hit power lines on Western Valley Rd, near Port Levy, just after 1pm on Thursday, cutting power to more than 5500 homes in Charteris Bay, Church Bay, Diamond Harbour, Governors Bay, Marley Hill and Teddington.

Power was restored to all but 313 customers just before 2.30pm that day. Crews were going door-to-door to check in with those still affected and working to restore power over the weekend.
