Take care around green domes
In areas with underground power, homes are connected to the electricity network through service pillars. They’re typically located just inside the property boundary. As pillars contain live electrical wires, they should always be treated with caution.
In areas with underground power, even though cables are out of sight, it is important to keep in mind they can be very dangerous if accidentally struck or damaged.
It is essential to carefully plan any works in your front yard and proceed with caution where underground electrical assets exist. Not only can it be costly if underground cables are damaged, hitting these cables can cause significant property damage as well as injury or even death.
The area above and around a pillar should be kept clear to allow for authorised access. This includes a 500 mm exclusion zone around the base of the unit.
As Horizon Power requires access to pillars at all times, keep shrubbery and obstructions well away. The ground level should never be raised so that the pillar becomes buried.
If you make contact with a pillar or notice any damage, immediately report it to Horizon Power by calling our faults line on 13 23 51.
Stay well away and ensure no one goes near the pillar until our crew arrives.
