lcscats Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 At one time in Ajijic the electricity turned off at night. Bet that is food for thought! If power is so important to some of you than buy a LP generator and hook it up to your big LP tank and run wires to fridge and such. Yes CFE is a nightmare sometimes but solutions exist if you are that desperate and some of the comments sound that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I spoke to a CFE agent a week and a half ago as to why they hadn't yet come to cut the coconut fronds that are lying on a major power line outside a property I manage, which I had reported over a month before, and was told "10 days", she told me they were short staffed because of the earthquakes. I didn't get the sense that she was BSing, and in fact my electrician confirmed this. Problems around here are miniscule compared to the disaster areas in this country where the CFE workers are needed desperately for in some instances life threatening situations still. I believe some of them have volunteered to go help in Costa Rica where it's definitely life threatening in the remote parts of that island. edit: Lo siento,yes I meant Puerto Rico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Do you mean Puerto Rico, not Costa Rica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 All I know is that 15 years ago I had outages all of the time, partially because there were not enough transformers on my street. Well maybe 8 years ago they added an additional transformer only a half a block from my house. All I know now is that I almost never have power outages and when I do, someone from CFE shows up and resets a fuse feeding one of the three phases. The only thing I am scared about is why did they put this transformer up near the end of the road near my house? Does this mean someone plans to build more homes up in the hills behind or near my home ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
