Bring back the holidays
Over KNY my power and water stayed on the whole time. Things seem to work better when everybody's on holiday. Can we make that permanent?

Re: Bring back the holidays
May has a whole lot of holidays too but I don't think any are long enough to affect anything. I had one power cut over KNY, and I'm not sure how long it lasted because I got out of there sharpish. There's some insane heat at the moment and I believe the EDC and other bodies have not planned ahead enough for the vast number of new constructions. It was working pretty well for about ten years but now it isn't and we are all back to 2008. It's gruesome here at the moment if your power cuts out.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Bring back the holidays
Yep,, agree with that one. For the first time in about 6 weeks we did not have to carry water up the 60 plus steps in Takhmau, to flush the toilet.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 9:36 pm Over KNY my power and water stayed on the whole time.

Same in Temple Town: no power cuts at all during the entire KNY; that has changed since with almost daily cuts. Luckily, we are apparently on the same line as a hospital and the cuts are short (30 minutes yesterday where other areas had no power for 12 hours).

Re: Bring back the holidays
I like to have a shower around 9pm. Last two nights I've had no water.
The one thing that didn't work over the holidays was Cintri. But I care less about piles of rubbish than I do about having reliable water and power.

Anyone else's power bill unexplainably go up? Our bill at work went up 25% despite spending over $100 on fuel for the genny.
We also close at 5, so it doesn't matter if the power is consistent at night.

In Street 23 we had no cuts from Thursday 11th until Monday 22nd inclusive. They started again on Tuesday 23rd in the afternoon and again yesterday in the morning. I expect today they will cut in the afternoon and so on.
4 hours a day is manageable; 8 hours a day is not.
Plan B is now my number one thought... #getthefuckoutofhere

My bill went to a whopping, heart-stopping, $600 in March and I wasn't even home most of the month.....

Get Teems to fit one of these Schneider fuse switches that have a meter so you can keep a close track of what you are using in each room or air-con.
They are not expensive..
