More than 3,000 homes lost power this morning
Power has been restored to most homes after an underground cable fault cut power to more than 3000 properties in south Christchurch. Power went off in the suburbs of Beckenham, Cashmere, Huntsbury, Somerfield, St Martins and Sydenham at 7.14am on Tuesday.
An Orion spokeswoman said at 8.45am only 67 homes in Waimea Tce in Beckenham were without power but a generator would give them power by 10am. Read more from The Press here.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
