The superintendent of the CFE Federal Electrical Commission of the southern part of the state, Jorge García Castillo explained that many times this is the problem causing nuisance outages, which they intend to prevent with these measures, throughout the lines distributed around the island. This problem is common on the island because it is caused by corrosion, and the entire infrastructure is exposed, as well as the overhead lines. This comprehensive maintenance will take place over the next two months and seeks to provide service that is as efficient as possible with electrical lines that are operating optimally throughout the year.

Sewage invades homes
Aguas negras invaden domicilios[+] Ver mas
A drainage blockage apparently caused sewage to back up into some apartments on Madero street, which adjoin a convenience store. Aguakan attempted to resolve the problem over the weekend but the tenants said sewage water was coming up their drain. Another type of machine is being brought in on early Tuesday by Aguakan to remove the blockage. The owners of the apartments had to move their foreign clients to another location.
