The Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA)
\ntoday day refuted statements made by Mr. John Mussington on Observer AM on\u00a0 Thursday 13 February, 2020 regarding the reconnection of his electricity service in\u00a0 Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Following the passage of Hurricane Irma, APUA introduced a three (3) wire system to
\nBarbuda that provides residents with the option of 110\/220 volts to their homes.<\/p>\n

Electrical breakers in homes are required to be equipped with double 40 amps and this
\nis to comply with the National Electric Code (NEC). Therefore all applications are\u00a0 treated as new services and require an inspection.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

An application for electricity services was submitted by Mr. John Mussington on 22nd
\nJanuary 2018 as per normal installation procedures; an inspection was carried out in
\nJanuary 25th 2018 that revealed his premises not meeting connection standards.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Mr. Mussington was updated by the inspector on the additional requirements needed;
\nthat stipulated constructing a concrete column at the entrance of his premises for the\u00a0 connection and successful service installation.<\/p>\n

An additional inspection was carried out
\non November 11th 2018 which again found that the concrete column had not been\u00a0 erected.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

APUA wishes to confirm that the supply of electricity services has been restored to the
\narea on the southern side of the hospital, the surroundings and at the boundary to Mr.
\nMussington\u2019s premises in April 2019.<\/p>\n

To date, APUA Electricity inspectors have made two additional attempts to complete
\ninspections at Mr. Mussington\u2019s residence but were unsuccessful due to the\u00a0 inaccessibility of Mr. Mussington.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

APUA would like to again invite Mr. John Mussington to our office in Barbuda and speak
\nto Ms. Nedd or Mr. Prosper regarding the status of his application.<\/p>
