Julien: Zero tolerance on blackouts

Julien made this suggestion in his address at Public Utilities Breakfast Function to celebrate the 44th Independence Anniversary of Trinidad and Tobago at Central Bank Auditorium Friday.

He said like WASA, there is much water, little water and drips of water in the taps at times. This he said, could be accepted by consumers for a time, but with electricity this should not be the same as most people depend on electricity for their refrigerator which is essential for storage of foodstuffs; use of other electrical appliances like televisions which most people use to relax and lights for the house at night-time. These outages cause much stress, inconvenience and losses to commercial, industrial and home owners.

He strongly suggests that zero tolerance should be accepted for outages.
