Safety alert

Following a tragic incident where a person in a remote community was fatally injured, NT WorkSafe has released a Safety Alert warning of the potential electrical safety risks posed by damaged, defective or degraded overhead electrical infrastructure.

We offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends, and affected community. Public safety is fundamental to everything we do at Power and Water, and any incident involving electrical infrastructure that results in harm weighs heavily on us.

Power and Water has been working cooperatively with NT WorkSafe and relevant authorities to determine the circumstances and causes of the incident and will continue to do so.

Our crews have also undertaken an immediate inspection of electrical supply installations on all other homes throughout the community.

We await the outcome of the investigation process and will advise of any further updates as they become available.
