Incompetence reigns at government corporations. Hundreds of residents in New Providence awoke yesterday morning to find that their electricity and water were off.<\/p>\n
The Tribune reports that Preston Rahming, from the Water & Sewage Corporation (W&S), told them the reason for the outage was a trip in one of the pumps.<\/p>\n
Tripped switches… sounds eerily similar to the excuses offered by BEC for power outages.<\/p>\n
Rahming said that it could have been caused by lightning, or a surge of electricity. This would be like a breaker in your house tripping after a spike in power.<\/p>\n
Mr Rahming also said the problem is, “not a big one”. He apparently did not wake up to no power and no water.<\/p>\n
The switches automatically turn off to protect the equipment from damage.<\/p>\n
Residents in Coral Harbour, Tropical Gardens, Cable Beach, Oakes Field and Yellow Elder were affected by the outages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
