Waiver of Arrears for APUA Services 

Cabinet has approved the reconnection of utilities for those who have had their APUA services disconnected for a minimum of 180 days. 

Those who have had their water, electricity, and land line services disconnected for longer than the stipulated period are being urged to contact APUA to arrange for connection under the advice of Cabinet.  Cabinet says the measure is to ensure essential services are available to all in the community and to abate the cost of living.  Director General of Communications in the Prime Minister’s Office, Maurice Merchant, says it is part of Government’s overall commitment to social welfare.
