Dear Yanchep News Online,
It would appear that Yanchep is back to regular power outages.
I spoke with Western Power last year about their continuing outages in Yanchep and they said it was caused by a number of incidents.
We had the power off three times in the last two weeks including (Monday) night with no warning.
Given that we are not a third world country we should expect a better system.
A local told me it was caused by the old system in Two Rocks and we are connected to that, even though all our homes have underground power in Yanchep.

Editor’s note: A motion on notice about advocating for the undergrounding of power in the City of Wanneroo is to go before the council on February 24. Overhead power lines are found throughout the older areas of the city including Two Rocks, Yanchep, Quinns Rocks, Wanneroo, Koondoola, Girrawheen and Marangaroo. If you live in one of these suburbs and want to share your experiences with power outages you are welcome to write a letter to the editor or email anita.mcinnes@yanchepnewsonline.com.au
