LETTER: Citizen Without Electricity for Days Urges Attention from APUA

5
Apua electricity worker

Dear Editor,

I have been patient for almost 96 hours now. During the storm, lightning seems to have hit the transformer which supplies current to my home.

Because of this, my family and I were the first to lose current. Afterwards yes, the rest of the country lost power and I was fine with those effect’s because that was uncontrollable.

However it’s been days and I’ve made about 6/7 phone calls asking Apua to repair the transformer which powers my home.

They came and we made a verbal face to face report however they left and did nothing nor did they at least give closure that the matter would be dealt with.

They have even went to a lower post in all saints near my home yet, they have made no visible effort to repair the transformer for my home.

This is becoming a bit ridiculous because we have been without water AND current for so long.

Every home around myself has current but mine does not, due to the fact that they haven’t made efforts to even look at the transformer.

I’m becoming fed up, I have a job and a child who goes to university and power needs to be there for her to do assignments efficiently.

Something seriously needs to be done.

Lola

  1. APOSTLE SHUGY SIMON OF THE NAZARENE CHURCH had electricity. It was Lights, Camera, Action at de STAGED “Press Pants Conference” and de chicken legs boy til flap over de SCRIPT.

    Suppose he min haffu read in de dark without electricity???? Watta calamity. A new level of DUNCE unlocked

  2. Oh please the apua men are doing their work , it isnt their fault lightening struck your transformer . I am sure they will fix it . Be a lil patient alot of places were affected. Its limited men for the whole of Antigua . The mere fact they looked at it means it will be sorted out …you think its easy work to just restore power . These men have to be careful with their lives …..safety first

    • The real problem here is no one from apua is communicating to the lady here what the problem is and the amount of time it will take to be repaired so she can make a proper plan. Unlike this lady you obviously have electricity and don’t have to sleep with your windows open to alleviate the heat which may also attract unwanted visitors or buy water because there is no electricity to power your water pump etc

      • Thanks for your post. Some people don’t take the time to read or maybe they lack understanding what they read. I hope and pray that the Lady and her family gets power restored soon.

  3. APUA…sorry but its just a joke!!!! Since monday night, no electricity, so many calls from everybody in my area, and still nothing!
    I am lucky to have a big generator, but its not the case for my neighbours.
    I called, the answer this morning, and the answer was “they are coming today”
    5 o’clock still nobody!!!!
    I know there’s lots of repairs to be done, but come on, 5 days without power!!!! How are people supposse to do?
    Oh, of course we are not a priority…no politicians live in our neighbourhood!
