Notification of works

William Street, Esplanade and Marlin Road, Port Willunga

July - December 2023

What we’re doing

We are undertaking a critical project to replace poles and overhead equipment along William Street, Esplanade and Marlin Road in Port Willunga.

It is a high corrosion zone caused by the salty costal environment, and the pole-top equipment is reaching the end of operational life. The work will improve power reliability for customers, reducing the risk of power outages.

How this affects you

The majority of the work will take place during daylight hours, with the possibility of some work on weekends. We will notify you in advance of any changes that may result in nightworks. During construction, there will be an impact on off-street parking, and in some cases, access to driveways may be temporarily blocked in the areas where we are working. Our team will be in contact you directly if this affects your property. For everyone’s safety, we will have traffic restrictions and appropriate traffic management in place.

Power outages

Some customers will experience power outages during this work. For those affected by outages, we will send SMS/ emails to subscribed customers, typically two weeks before the planned outage. We post cards to non-subscribed customers however there may be delays receiving them.
