Do not drive over fallen powerlines. Safety is our priority - please stay safe.

There are multiple water outages across Darwin – Power and Water and Dept. of Health have issued a precautionary boil water alert.

Power and Water crews are on stand-by and will commence assessing damage and services restoration as soon as the all-clear is given and it is safe.
