Tree branch cuts power

Power supply was interrupted to parts of Woy Woy, Phegans Bay and Daleys Point for about an hour and a half on Tuesday, June 26, after a tree branch came into contact with overhead powerlines along Woy Woy Rd.

The outage occurred at about 2.40pm and affected around 2400 homes and businesses around Daley Ave, Rickard Rd, Rawson Rd and Woy Woy Bay Rd.

Emergency crews from Ausgrid checked that there was no damage to the powerline before safely restoring power to the majority of customers at about 3.45pm.

Power was restored to the remaining homes and businesses at approximately 4.10pm.
