September 28, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Towns in the northern half of the South Burnett and parts of Gympie region lost power at 6:48pm on Monday night.<\/p>\n

The blackout affected about 12,000 Ergon Energy customers in the South Burnett and between Maryborough and Gympie.<\/p>\n

southburnett.com.au<\/strong> received reports of the power being off in Wondai, Murgon, Cherbourg, Cloyna, Durong, Tingoora, Hivesville, Proston, Moffatdale, Redgate, Crownthorpe, Goomeri, Kilkivan and Lower Wonga.<\/p>\n

The northern parts of Nanango were also affected.<\/p>\n

There were also multiple reports of landline telephones not working.<\/p>\n

Power was restored to about 7000 South Burnett customers at 7:46pm after emergency repairs.<\/p>\n

Ergon Energy customers closer to Woolooga were reconnected at 8:37pm.<\/p>\n

At 10:00pm, only about 270 customers in the Tiaro area were still without power.<\/p>\n

The cause of the blackout is not known at present but the fault appears to have occurred on a major feeder line south of Maryborough.<\/p>\n

UPDATE September 29: The fault was caused by a failure in high-voltage lines near Bidwill. Power was restored to the final 80-odd customers just before 8:00am.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
