Endeavour Energy cuts power between Wilberforce and Wisemans Ferry due to flood safety

Endeavour Energy said it made the "difficult decision" to isolate power to the communities.

"This is an important and necessary precautionary measure to keep everyone within our community safe. We are proactively notifying customers by SMS where they have registered their details with their electricity retailer," Endeavour Energy wrote on social media channels.

"With water levels at Windsor Bridge already at 13.27m and still rising, isolation of power to the transmission line, which supplies the major substations at #Cattai and #WisemansFerry that power riverside communities, including those well away from the flooding on higher ground, is required."

Affected areas include parts of Canoelands, Cattai, Colo, Colo Heights, Central Colo, Central Macdonald, Cumberland Reach, East Kurrajong, Ebenezer, Forest Glen, Glenorie, Macdonald, Higher Macdonald, Laughtondale Leets Vale, Lower Hawkesbury, Lower Macdonald, Lower Portland, Maraylya, Maroota, Pitt Town, Sackville, South Maroota, Sackville North Singletons Mill, St Albans, Upper Colo, Webbs Creek, Wheeny Creek, Wilberforce, Windsor, Wisemans Ferry and Wrights Creek.

Endeavour Energy said it would "keep a close eye on other communities within our network as they experience ongoing heavy rain and potentially damaging winds and will safely restore power supply where it's possible."
