Power staying on in damaged land areas
Christchurch electricity network company Orion reassures residents and businesses in the wake of today's land announcements that electricity infrastructure and supply will stay in place in badly damaged areas until it is no longer needed.
"In the short term we will continue to maintain our network to ensure power is delivered where needed to areas severely affected by the quakes," says Orion General Manager Commercial Rob Jamieson.
"In the longer term Orion will work constructively with relevant authorities to develop a thorough understanding of the investment and infrastructure necessary to support the rebuild of Christchurch. Our goal is always to provide an electricity delivery service that meets the needs of our community," Mr Jamieson concludes.
