An entire village along the Blanchisseuse Road in Arima was last night left in total darkness after a major landslide brought down power lines in the area.
This was last night confirmed by Arima Mayor Lisa Morris-Julien, who said she returned to her office shortly after 8 pm after responding to the landslide.
“It occurred at the Five-Mile Mark by the WASA Station, leaving that entire area from Four Mile back without electricity. We have already contacted T&TEC and they are on standby to commence restoration works,” Morris-Julien said.
A crew from the Arima Borough Corporation is expected to go to the site today to clear the roadway of all debris.
