APUA CLARIFIES RESUMPTION OF DISCONNECTIONS

Report filed by Raghib Apparicio – News Reporter

The Antigua Public Utilities Authority is to resume disconnections of accounts in arrears…
The entity’s Public Relations Coordinator Sharifa George is urging customers not to be fearful of immediate disconnections come the 1st of February.

George is instead encouraging people to make appointments with APUA to establish payment plans.

Those appointments may be scheduled by calling 480-7002.
She says the payment plans will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

She says tenants are especially encouraged to set up appointments. The moratorium on disconnections started in March last year.

It was part of the APUA’s relief effort in the wake of the financial impact of the COVD-19 pandemic on its customers.
