This is a very dangerous and high risk job for both the electricians and homeowners and they have done it safely without accidents, which mean they are doing it thoughtfully. Thanks you for intelligent and strategic approach hopefully this can be completed Island wide expeditiously!
We are appreciative of the hard work and effort and energy put into restoring power to entire Country house by house , street by street, sections, towns and villages, its a magnanimous effort!
Thanks to the men & women from Domlec and other companies both here & the Caribbean etc helping to restore lines and energies the homes and work area. Please work safe and heads up to one and all.
Dont forget checkhall please!
Sooooi….the east and south east continues to e left in the dark…any idea domlec????
Only 2,000 people have power??? Isn’t there 75,000 people on the island? It’s been 6 month since Maria. I would have expected closer to 70,000 have power by now. What’s taking so long? It’s not like there’s a shortage of people to work and help out. The island unemployment rate is horrendous and there are many young men and women who would be willing to work.
Remember that 2000 doesn’t mean people, all 75,000 dominicans don’t have their own house. It’s 2,000 out of about 35,000. Still badly off I must say.
Oh yeah and get them electrocuted without training.
enough with the complaining… you are not a child… maybe ask what YOU can do do as a citizen speed up the effort?
Can you talk of your contribution to restore power on the island . Have you dug one hole to erect a pole? At least that’s the most you can do.
Do you people think before you all make these comments? It’s a shame how smart you all are.
If there are 70,000 or 75,000 you think each one have an account with Domlec? you do realize that number includes children and people who live in one household right?
How many times we gonna have to TELL YOU SLOW PEOPLE! DOMINICA POPULATION IS NOT 75,000 ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Domlec should consider investing in bucket trucks to ease the men from climbing every pole I know some places are very difficult to deal with and they may have to let the men climb the poles but the bucket truck can do most of the climbing work, taking the men up to the poles safely with no fear.
Has domlec forgotten coco bottom, lower morne daniel?
I want to thank the hard working folks at domlec for the efforts in restoring electricity to pte Michel and the environ .
So DOMLEC, You guys came to Soufriere and run all the high tension lines, giving the villagers hope, only to find out is Grandbay you try to restore and you just left Soufriere in the Dark. I guess there is a person in High Managerial position leaving Grandbay. SMH
Grand Bay is the second city. They have to give them electricity before Soufriere offcourse
hehehehe
Is not By-election time and all of us know de way to our mouth with a glass of rum ;
we dow need light to drink rum , we also playing all our domino from early morning now so light and water not no problem . Life sweet , we nice .
Village road what nah ? when sea coming up we go jus run up de hill , we dow really need no sea wall to stop sea from invading our homes . Once our PM say he love us as we are, life nice . No more by-election, we good . who say hurricane coming coming jus now and it will have rough seas ? no way . what you all know anyway ? ein .
Ah doe dig, that’s what Pt. Michel said abbot Soufriere. same going to happen in Gbay. They first bring the high-tension lines like in PtMichel then the people go on to get their hones tested so that other crews can hook them up. Justina is no big wig by any means, just ask Blackmore.
Hello…Hello…So, what happen to Wallhouse…? No longer on the Map????”
FLOW doesn’t give updates on restoration of the home internet connection or home telephone lines at all?? I suspect they making too much money on the data so they no longer care about the average man that cannot afford a smartphone but just want a little home internet so their child can do their homework! At least DOMLEC gives updates, all FLOW does is talk about big money data packages they’re bringing out!
True the thieves are milking us
I guess Checkhall Hill not part of Dominica. We are just totally disregarded as not even being important enough to mentioned.
This is taking too long
Guys are doing a great job with what they have… THANKS, GUYS!
What happen to Beau Bois? Beau Bois Gillion?
Continuing Kingshill……………….. . I live at lower kingshill, haven’t seen Domlec yet. Please be specific. Kings hill is very big and have many parts. When are you all coming to LOWER KINGSHILL.
What happen to checkhall
Good going. But Leopoldvile?? Omg ..What else could they name it Frankenstein ville?
How many electrical linesmen from other islands have been helping out. It seems that DOMLEC cannot do it alone, they are overburdened. Monies from the CBI program and what has been donated should be used to bring in electricians and bucket trucks from everywhere including the United States.
You honestly want government to take your tax money to help Domlec? You cannot be that wicked. Let me start by saying I hope after this Domlec start respecting it’s customers. Domlec cut my mom lights for $5.35. during a week when I had exams. They said it was a mistake but took 3 days to reconnect us. I can afford to buy my mom a generator so I hope Domlec never recover from this.
Restoring electricity is a work in progress, we just have to be patient. No mention of the eastern villages like Laplaine. CBI money is for government to use to do government work, Domlec is a private company making millions and they have brought in resources to support the local effort. Puerto Rico which is a US territory is still struggling to restore electricity so don’t expect any help from that area.
