NSW: About 3,000 properties without power in Sydney's inner west

Three thousand homes and businesses in Sydney's inner west are blacked out after an
electrical fault which may have been caused by heavy rain.

EnergyAustralia says that about 6.30am (AEDT) a fault cut the power supply to parts
of Glebe and Camperdown.

Crews are working on the problem but it's not known when power will be restored.

On Monday a blackout hit about 70 thousand homes and businesses in Sydney's CBD and
cut power to about 140 sets of traffic lights .. causing peak hour chaos.
