Power out in Taupō

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Taupō Times

Hi neighbours,
Around 16,000 power customers in the Taupō area are without power after planned maintenance went wrong.
A spokesperson for Unison said something went wrong during planned maintenance at Transpower's Wairakei grid exit point.
She said Unison would keep customers updated via their Facebook page. At this stage power wasn't likely to be back on until around 4pm.
"It is a Transpower issue and we are working closely with them to sort it."
A post on the Transpower page apologised to those currently without power.
"Our crews are currently investigating and we will provide updates on this page as they become available," it read.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
