WAITEMATA ELECTRIC POWER BOARD NOTICE TO CONSUMERS SHORTAGE OF POWER The Public Works Department's Chief Electrical Engineer, as Electricity Controller, has advised the Board, that the Electric Power Supply position, from the generating point of view. Is not good, and has stressed that for the coming months it is in the balance and the cooperation of all concernsd ■ is necessary. The Controller has instructed the-Board that it'must take steps to reduce load at once. •■ The' Board appeals to all consumers to avoid extravagant use of electricity, and suggests the following economies' — 1. Turn off unnecessary lights, in porches, halls, etc. 2. Use your radiator as sparingly .as possible, particularly between the critical hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Where there is a double element use only one. Unless consumers co-operate the Controller may ban their use. . 3. Switch off your, water heater if it boils. This applies par- < ticularly to heaters in dairy sheds, where in the winter months a ■ limited supply of hot water ie requir-d. 4. Switch off your radio set when you are not listening to it. 5. Where an electric water heater system is installed do not heat water on the stove hotplates. , , 6. Cook as much as possible on one element of your stove, and when the pots boil switch the element to the lowest heat which will finish the cooking. Indications are that the extra : use oi radiators during the winter months will cause an extraordinary increase in unit consumption. . Under.the Electricity Control Order. 1942. and it 3 Amendments, the use of any electric radiator or other electric heating equipment between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., from Ist May to 30th September, in shops, offices, factories, warehouses, halls, theatres. etc.. is strictly prohibited,- and all heating points in the premises of any i person not complying with this' Order will bs disconnected,, or sealed up. The Board wishes to state that it is in no way responsible for the shortage of power. ■ ■ - • The Electricity Controller has advised that if consumers- do not voluntarily reduce their consumption he will enforce compulsory measures. The Board earnestly appeals to consumers to avoid any necessity for this drastic action, which would cause great, inconvenience . and . hardship to all. A. MAIN, Manager.
