A week on from the weather bomb, and three hundred and fifty properties are still without power in South Taranaki and Whanganui.

They're mainly in remote rural areas of Whanganui, Patea, Waverley and the Waitotara Valley.

Powerco says a huge effort is underway to get people reconnected but some won't have their electricity back on until late this week.

Any downed power lines should still treated as live.
