Timehri residents given application forms for prepaid meters

Aug 06, 2012 News

 

After disconnecting electricity to more than 50 homes in Hyde Park, Timehri, the Guyana Power and Light (GPL), has now provided them with application forms for prepaid meters.
GPL has reportedly promised to bypass the fact that the residents are living on state owned properties, and will provide them with their own prepaid meters.
Two Mondays ago, GPL workers, accompanied by police, went into the area and disconnected several power lines.
George David, one of the residents, explained that the people of Hyde Park were occupying government properties for many years, and have never paid any electricity bills.
He added that while there were some rumours suggesting that the residents would have to start paying the rates, they were never given formal notice.
David and other residents noted that they do not have a problem with paying the rates, but were annoyed that they were not notified.
David added that many businesses were drastically affected because of the haphazard disconnections.
The residents say that they are thankful, but are hoping that the administration would not give them the royal run around in getting their prepaid meters set up.
