Western Power was fined $60,000 for each of the three offences to which it pleaded guilty on Friday in Perth Magistrates Court.

The company’s contractors transposed wires while they were upgrading connections to houses in Bull Creek, Gooseberry Hill and Australind in February 2010.

Residents, including an 11-year-old boy, later felt electric shocks when they used taps and household appliances.
