Filter scarcity leaves Port Kaituma communities without electricity

Two communities in Port Kaituma were without electricity up to yesterday after a large generator used to supply power stopped working when the power company ran out of filters.

Richard Allen, Director of the Power Company’s Board, said the Main Road and Citrus Grove communities have been affected since Monday. He added that filters arrived in Port Kaituma yesterday and the situation is expected to be resolved today.

This newspaper was told that the fuel supply for the power company is also a challenge.

Allen also said on a daily basis the power company receives six barrels of fuel at a time.
