A Tivoli Gardens resident.
Residents of Tivoli Gardens, in West Kingston, are now on the Jamaica Public Service Company's tamper-proof electrical system.
The JPS said it completed the construction of the Residential Automated Metering Infrastructure (RAMI), and transition to the new system took place this week.
This comes almost six months after JPS first approached the community, and follows an extended public education campaign in the last quarter of 2010, encouraging residents to have their electricity supply regularized.
This week’s undertaking was the second phase of a two-part exercise, in which persons who had taken steps to regularize their supply were removed from the old network, and transferred to the new tamper-proof system.
Tivoli Gardens is the sixth community to benefit from the installation of the RAMI system.
The others are in sections of Old Harbour Bay, St. Catherine; Seaview Gardens, in Kingston; and Retirement, Hurlock, and Pitfour, in St. James.
Approximately 15,000 households are now on the new system.
