Jill Bray, of Sawyers Bay, said a wooden power pole on a corner of State Highway 88, near Blanket Bay, was on a lean.
She feared it could topple and cause a serious crash.
She called Delta and Aurora Energy two times each about her concerns in the past fortnight.
``I can't believe they left it hanging over - it seems very dangerous.''
Aurora Energy operations and risk general manager John Campbell said heavy rain on July 21 and 22 caused a landslip to shift rock and material against the pole.
The power lines were removed to take the loading off the top of the pole and make it safe.
The land had continued to move and line crews removed the pole yesterday.
As the lines had already been removed, no power outage was necessary.
The hillside needed to be stabilised before a replacement pole could be installed, he said.
Mr Campbell thanked Mrs Bray for raising the matter.
People concerned about damaged power poles should contact Aurora Energy immediately on 0800 22 00 05, he said.
