100.000 Without
Water On
Saturday
More than
100.000 people
were without
water and some
without
electricity on
Saturday, as the
Fuerza y Luz
(power and light
company) carried
out maintenance
work on its
power lines,
cutting off
power to the
Puente de Mulas
pumping station
that provided
water to the
communities of
Escazú,
Alajuelita and
Desamparados.
Residents of
Desamparados and
Escazú were
without water,
while those of
Alajuelita
Centro also
without
electricity.
The cut to power
came about 8am
and the
restoration
began around
2pm, although it
was not until
after 6pm that
everyone was
with water and
electricity.
The maintenance
work included
changing
transformers,
repairing
lightning rods
and exchanging
breakers, among
other work.
