A tragedy waiting to happen
RUSSELL LANGFIELD, Kimberley
A totally avoidable tragedy waiting to happen. After waiting over two years for Aurora Energy to have a power pole which was being pulled over by the power lines inspected and ‘fixed,’ it is now more dangerous than when first reported and has unbelievably been passed by their so-called inspectors without the required stay-wire being fitted. Three times the inspectors have come out, three times they changed the regulations they quoted and three times the pole measured has moved since the last time, yet they refuse to fail it or produce proof of what the regulations actually state. So much for Aurora’s well publicised commitment to the “Aurora Preferred Guarantee” of workmanship and installation, let alone safety with electricity. It seems only a tragedy and resulting murder charges may change their minds.
