Wednesday, 1 November 2017, 10:06 am Press Release: Transpower
Planned Power Outage for Waverley And Surrounding
Districts
As owner and operator of the National
Grid, Transpower needs to urgently undertake essential
maintenance work at the Waverley Substation on Sunday 5
November 2017. This work will ensure a reliable supply of
electricity to Waverley and the surrounding
districts.
Unfortunately, this maintenance work cannot be
undertaken while the substation is in service.
Transpower
would like to advise residents and businesses in and around
Waverley, Waitotara and Rangikura that a power outage is
required on Sunday 5 November 2017, 9 AM - 4 PM. This date
could be affected by severe adverse weather.
Transpower
recognises that there is never an ideal time for consumers
to be without electricity and apologises for any
inconvenience this power outage may cause.
For information
on whether your property is affected, please call your
retailer with your customer number.
Preparing for the
power outage
1. If you are reliant on electricity for
medical support equipment, please contact your medical
provider for advice.
2. Turn off all electronic appliances
at the wall (microwaves, TVs, DVDs, computers etc).
3.
Store enough drinking water before the power goes off.
4.
If you are on shift work, fill up your petrol tank the night
before – remember pumps and eftpos won’t work.
5.
While the power is off, treat all power lines and electrical
wiring as being live at all times as it could be restored
earlier than
planned.

Winston Peters is routinely described as the kingmaker who decides whether the centre right or the centre-left has a turn at running this country. He also plays a less heralded, but equally important role as the scapegoat who can be blamed for killing taxes that his senior partners never much wanted in the first place. Neither Ardern nor Robertson for example, really wanted a capital gains tax, for fear of Labour copping the “tax and spend“ label they ended up being saddled with anyway. Usefully though, they could tell the party faithful it was wicked old Winston who killed the CGT... More

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru... More
