Belco crews today restored power to more than 450 customers, with only 46 remaining without electricity by the evening.

Areas addressed included Landmark, Benny Bay Road, Spring Hill, Cove Valley, Old Road, Hibiscus Lane, Cut Road, Chapel of Ease, Pain Lane and Boundary Lane.

According to a spokeswoman for the utility company, the remaining outages were isolated, single-outage incidents, which means each restoration job will address only a single outage.

“As of 9.40pm, 46 customers remain without power, down from approximately 188 at 5pm,” the spokeswoman said.

“It is anticipated additional customers will be brought online tonight before the crews are stood down at midnight, with full restoration completed tomorrow.

“If customers are located within any of the areas listed as restored, but remain without power, we ask them to call 955 as this indicates a more localised issue.

“Additionally, should anyone be experiencing partial power, we advise them to turn off their power immediately from the main source and to call 955 immediately.”

The utility company also encouraged residents to check on their elderly or ailing family members and friends to ensure that their power had been restored and, if not, to contact Belco immediately.

“We can not underestimate our appreciation for the patience our customers have shown under these trying circumstances,” the spokeswoman said. ?

“The ongoing positive support from residents has been greatly appreciated by our team.”

The spokeswoman also commended all Belco employees who had been working diligently and with passion to complete the restoration process so quickly.
