The NWC says that the “power supply company has been notified of the problem and so operations will be restored as soon as these issues are corrected”.

Areas currently affected include: New Harbour Village phases I, II, III and IV; Old Harbour Bay, Colbeck district, Presidential Estate, The Aviary, Blackwood Gardens and Bourkesfield.
