Living near an electrical substation [modified]
-
My wife has falen in love with a house which is about 50 meters from a large electrical substation which you can see here[^] I'm finding it difficult to find any reliable information about the possible health effects of living so close to such a thing. Does anyone here have any opinion? Update I just found this[^]. Basically, Energy Australia are planning to start rebuilding this substation this month and expect the works to take several years. Explains why the house is so cheap, I think we'll keep looking

Personally, I wouldnt.. Would you want your (Future?) Kids/Pets being able to possibly go into the substation? The noise would drive me nuts if its anything like the ones in this country which make a low humming sound...

I do not know about the health, but what if there is a major fire or blast? The noise and the kids/pets factor others mention are important too.

I suspect that the CP member most able to answer this question would be Woger. After all he spends a great deal of his work time messing about with that there Electrickery stuff. After all this time he's still aaaaaalriiiiiight(ish).

My father never would've let me move to a place near that. He worked for the EPA so I'll take his word. Another anecdotal story note. My girlfriend in high school lived under / next to high power lines. Her sister developed bone cancer in her leg at age 11 and lost her leg up to the thigh. She's in her 20's now and in remission.

Well, it's meant to put you off. It's there for a reason: to protect you and yours from getting electrocuted.

A friend of mine lived near a substation like that, and would get power surges that fried ceiling fans.

Slightly off topic, but might be useful: link[^] If not for the telecom/power substation thing, I would have thought it was the same house :) Fwiw, Rama makes an excellent point about resale value.
