JPS To Customers On Weather Condition

Dear Customers,

The prevailing weather conditions, have impacted a number of areas on the electricity network. Days of rain have resulted in saturated soil, soil erosion and landslides, which have caused some poles to become dislodged resulting in power outages. Additionally, landslides have brought trees down on some lines, causing service disruption.

Some of the most impacted areas include Western parishes, Manchester, St. Thomas, rural St. Andrew, but there are several other areas affected islandwide.

While the teams are doing their best to address the situation, efforts are being hampered by impassable roadways, as well as ongoing rains which make working with electricity dangerous. Teams are however doing their best to work as quickly and safely as possible.  The dedicated teams at JPS thank you
