UPCOMING PLANNED OUTAGES
Marlborough Lines work hard to minimise disruptions when they need to do maintenance on power substations and lines. But sometimes, a power outage is unavoidable for the safety of their crew. Here's some information to help you get ready for a planned shutdown.
Please check your emails from your retailer to see if you are affected by any of these upcoming shutdowns.
