Generator changeover in Kalamunda
Kalamunda sits in the hills, and almost all of the suburb is mapped bushfire prone. Western Power notes that storms and fires can delay repairs until it's safe for crews to work. A generator changeover in Kalamunda is installed at the main switchboard by a licensed contractor, and the work is notified to the network operator. Never plug a generator into a power point or use a modified lead.
