Report a fault

You can report a power or water fault online, as well as public faults, damage and safety hazards at any time.
We check online fault reports Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, but not on public holidays. To report a fault or outage outside these hours, call 1800 245 092.

Dangerous or life-threatening situation? Do not use this form. Call 000 or the Power and Water emergency line on 1800 245 090 immediately.

Before you report a fault

Check the current outages and works page first. Our crews may already be aware of the issue.
Check whether the power or water is out for others nearby, or only at your property. If the issue is only at your place and you have ruled out other obvious causes, submit a fault report and we’ll investigate.
Before reporting a power outage, please wait 15 minutes. National standards require us to wait 15 minutes before attempting to re-energise the lines.
