We will be unable to return to site today due to a lack of remaining daylight hours and poor weather. We will be attempting to visit site tomorrow, otherwise we expect to be able to return to site on Monday, November 14th.

We apologize for this disruption and will be working to restore service back to normal as quickly as we are able. For queries or concerns, please contact us at 0800 12 13 14 or support@lightwire.co.nz
