The meeting scheduled for Thursday is to address the inconveniences caused by a lack of water and electricity, and to negotiate alternative ways to assist the community with basic needs while Centlec and the municipality work on maintenance.

According to a source, who preferred to remain anonymous, electricity cables are soaked in water and left open in the streets close to a local school, which is a life-threatening hazard, especially for learners of the school. They further explained that it affects businesses, as day-to-day operations depend highly on electricity, and sometimes water.
