Power restoration ongoing! Water supply hinges on BVIEC progress

The BVI Electrical Corporation (BVIEC) is actively working to fully restore electricity across the territory following the passage of Tropical Storm Ernesto. However, the public is advised that water supply will be affected by the progress of the power restoration efforts.

Currently, electricity has been restored in all of Road Town and many other areas. The BVIEC continues to provide updates to the community as they work to restore power in pending areas such as Ridge Road, Joes Hill, Harrigan, Sage Mountain, sections of Cane Garden Bay, Long Swamp to Hope Hill, and Carrot Bay to Capoons Bay.

The BVIEC has explained that they are focusing on restoring the main feeder lines before attending to individual homes. This is why some residences in the same areas have power while others do not.

In their latest update, the BVIEC informed the public that they are currently working in District 1, which includes Carrot Bay and the wider West End area.
