Lack of electricity paralyzes ice production, water pumping and impairs the functioning of the telecommunications system in the Locality of Lomba Tantum
Nova Sintra, 03 September 2023 - The constant interruptions in the supply of electricity are causing serious inconvenience in the town of Lomba Tantum. The lack of electricity significantly affects the daily lives of residents and the operation of essential services.
Ice production, a vital economic activity in the region, is being one of the hardest hit by the power outage. Fishermen and fishmongers depend on the production and sale of ice for their livelihoods. The power outage brought the ice-making machines to a standstill, resulting in significant losses to the business.
Another sector affected is the supply of drinking water, since water pumping depends on electricity to function. This leads to concerns about the availability of potable water for the residents of Lomba Tantum, especially at a time when the demand for water is high due to the hot climate.
In addition, the locality's telecommunications system is also being affected, resulting in interruptions in communications and access to the internet, cell phone and other means. This is causing inconvenience to residents who depend on telecommunications for work and communication with family and friends.
Local authorities are working closely with the responsible electric company to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. So far, there is no exact estimate of when power will be fully restored. However, contingency measures are being implemented to minimize the impact of the power outage.
Residents of Lomba Tantum are being advised to conserve water and electricity, as well as to take additional precautions to ensure their safety and well-being during this time of power outage.
It is expected that the complete restoration of electricity and the normalization of essential services will take place as soon as possible, thus alleviating the difficulties faced by the community of Lomba Tantum.
