According to reports,
a Sanitation Service vehicle while driving with its boom extended, hooked
into a main distribution line resulting in nine (9) poles and a bank
of three (3) transformers being brought down. Grand Bahama Power
crews were immediately dispatched to the scene and began to rebuild
and restore power. The crews were able to isolate the damaged
poles and power was restored to 85% of the customers within an hour.
The remaining 15% are expected to be without service for another 6 –
7 hours. We will provide additional updates should there be any changes and would like to take this opportunity to remind the public to drive safely at all times. The Grand Bahama power company apologizes for the disruption in service and assures the public that we are working to rectify the situation as quickly as we can.
