WATER OUTAGES on the EAST Central Valley - SUNDAY August 10, 2013

WATER OUTAGES on the EAST CENTRAL VALLEY POSTPONED TILL AUGUST 10

Sala IV says power company picked wrong weekend for cutoffs
The Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad and the Instituto Costarricense de Acueductos y Alcantarillados have called off work Sunday at the Río Macho hydro plant because the Sala IV constitutional court told them to do so.

The state power generator and the water company produced an extensive list of communities Wednesday where outages were planned for Sunday.

The Sala IV, however, said that thousands of persons would be in the Cartago area in the aftermath of the annual pilgrimage and for reasons of public health water should not be cut off.
The firm known as ICE and the water company known as AyA said that the work would be done Saturday, Aug. 10, and that water cutoffs would take place then.

The  Municipalidad de Cartago also was announcing cutoffs. That is the community where the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles is located.  Although Aug. 2, this Friday, is the feast day of the Virgin, many people come before and after to complete their pilgrimages.

The announcement suspending the work on the hydro plant did not mention the court ruling. The power company said that it would unblock a tunnel and make changes to pipes that feed some turbines while the water is shut off.
