With less than a week to go until the Antigua Public Utilities Authority’s (APUA) disconnection waiver comes to an end, customers across the island are scrambling to get their accounts in order.
The company announced last week that the nine-month waiver of disconnections, as part of its Covid-19 relief efforts, would end on January 31. This means utility services for both residential and commercial customers will be liable for disconnections starting February 1.
APUA spokeswoman Sharifa George told Observer yesterday that the announcement almost immediately prompted action from customers.
