Since Wednesday, August 13, around 6 p.m. Wednesday, around 6 p.m., the town of Centuri has been fully plunged into darkness. In all, 280 households were still deprived of electricity this Thursday, August 14, in the middle of the morning.
EDF Corse apologizes for the inconvenience caused and ensures everything to restore the current.
According to its services, the municipality of Morsiglia is also concerned, but in part. “Right now, the defect has been located on an underground cable in Olcani. Digging work is scheduled for this Thursday afternoon, with a programmed repair tomorrow. In parallel, generators are being sent to allow refeeding this evening, explains the communication from EDF Corsica. “Our teams have been hard at work since last night and continue their intervention today to finalize repairs.
“It is a very important loss of operating”, underlines a merchant
Problem, for Centuri merchants, evil is already done. “We will throw all our stocks of refrigerated products, but also all the ice. It is a very important operating loss. We are in our biggest week of the year, we had already made our reservations for August 15, Reacts a merchant, disillusioned in the face of the situation. It’s a shame! We worked as we could for the service last night, and for this afternoon, we do not yet know if we will be able to open. Anyway, it will be a reduced service at best. “
Another consequence, the failure could affect the town’s water network. “Some sources feed our network, but they are currently in a much lower flow due to the season. The sanitation network operates thanks to an electric water pumping from boreholes below the treatment plant. Without this system, we can fear localized spills”explains Pierre Rimattei, the mayor of Centuri.
“We are expectant, he underlines, adding that “cEla puts the town in great difficulty especially on the side of shops, but also of private people. ”
