Divers to investigate cable damage

12 Sep 2010

Power and Water has engaged local divers to photograph the extent of damage that may have occurred when a naval vessel snagged an underwater cable in Darwin Harbour on Friday.

General Manager Power Networks Bertram Birk said divers would enter the water when visibility in the area improved.

"It appears that strong currents are making visibility poor and not allowing us good images for diagnosis," Mr Birk said.

"I am advised it may be Tuesday or Wednesday before the currents are more favourable."

Power and Water Corporation would like to remind customers in Mandorah and the Cox Peninsula area to unplug all non-essential appliances to ensure the current temporary power supply is managed efficiently for all customers.
