The power outage was necessary to allow linemen to work safely on the power lines as they performed the necessary repairs to replace a damaged power pole, which was struck by a vehicle in front of the Aqua Resort in Achugao, CUC stated.
The damaged power pole was replaced at 3 p.m. so as to not interfere with the classes at Tanapag Elementary School.
“Seven maintenance personnel finished the job at 5 p.m. The replacement was successful. We are scheduling additional routine maintenance on the electrical system throughout the island,” said acting CUC power division manager Gary P. Camacho.
