Could you live without electricity? Residents in these small towns are fighting to keep the lights on

Help keep family & friends informed by sharing this articleResidents of a regional West Australian community are threatening legal action against Western Power as ongoing outages bring more than a decade of frustration to a boiling point.

But the neighbouring community Springfield is located on a radial spur off the main line, meaning it doesn't interconnect with any alternate network and cannot be back-fed for any fault on the spur itself.More than 100 people attended a community forum with Western Power in Port Denison on Friday and many offered scathing reviews of the network.

"If there was to be a fire out there on a 45-degree day, we don't have power, we cannot fight that fire. So lives will be lost. "Based on that report coming back is whether we take a class action, which is the line we're actually heading down now because we are fed up.""This is the second time in one week that my business has had to close. We're losing business from international people … it's just not right," she said."We all come into this sort of life with dreams and expectations, and nobody wants to know.

"We certainly understand people's frustration with the service they've been getting, and we don't dismiss that at all," he said.
