Keep safe when digging around electricity!

Northpower

First thing you should do before digging is find out where Northpower’s electricity and communications cables are.

Be sure to visit www.beforeudig.co.nz to request plans at least two working days before you begin work. They will then email you the free reference maps that indicate the approximate location of underground cables.

You can then use the beforeUdig sequence number provided to order a free cable locate service from Northpower.
