Last night the third power outage occurred in less than a week in the colonia Meterologica, and in the early hours workers from the Federal Electricity Commission arrived to restore service by replacing a transformer with one of a higher capacity. The problem was caused by overloading of the 35.5 KVA transformer, which was replaced by a 75 KVA transformer. This is expected to solve the problem once and for all. In recent days they had handled another problem in the area by rearranging cables to prevent their overheating.

Maintenance work on hyperbaric chamber

SALUD
Dan ‘manita de gato’ a cámara hiperbárica
0 30 de June de 2014 The decompression chamber is available 365 days a year, but now that the season has begun for its highest demand, maintenance work will be done. This includes replacing some nozzles, the oximeter, the regulator of the 'boquillas' and other minor work. Last year there was a membership of about 85 fishermen, and this year that number is expected to exceed 100 registrants. An average of 300 pesos monthly is deducted for each fisherman, which is paid by their cooperative and not by the fisherman, which gives them the right to this quality service if it is necessary. (Lobster season begins today, and decompression illness is a risk for lobster fishermen who dive down to catch the crustaceans, often using a line of air from a compressor in the boat.)
